Animal Fur
TJX Companies, the parent company of TJ Maxx and TK Maxx, has decided to remove all natural fur from its collections. This includes angora, which comes from rabbits, and mohair, which is sourced from angora goats.
The decision followed a recent investigation into farms certified under the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), where reports of animal cruelty were highlighted. According to an updated company statement, TJX businesses worldwide are now considered “fur-free.”
The company stated that it does not knowingly source products containing angora or mohair fibres. However, it mentioned that due to the complexity of its off-price purchasing model, items containing fur may sometimes be unintentionally supplied to its stores or online platforms.
TJX emphasised that it is working to remove any such products quickly and is committed to improving ethical sourcing practices. The company also stated that it follows all relevant laws and regulations, including those related to animal protection.
