Corporate Partners

Link Your Organization's Name to More Than a Century of Plant-Based Advocacy

Founded in Dresden, Germany, in 1908, the International Vegetarian Union (IVU) is the world's oldest organization dedicated to promoting vegetarianism and veganism. For over 115 years, IVU has served as the global umbrella connecting national and regional societies across every continent, hosting World Vegetarian Congresses, supporting scientific research on plant-based nutrition, and advocating for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and public health.

The Corporate Partner category is designed for businesses, institutions, and private organizations that share our values and wish to formalize their commitment to a more compassionate, sustainable, and plant-based world.

Why Become a Corporate Partner

By joining IVU as a Corporate Partner, your organization aligns its name with a legacy of integrity, scientific credibility, and international reach. Benefits include:

Global visibility — Your organization's name associated with an institution recognized in more than 50 countries and present in every major international conversation on plant-based living since the early twentieth century.
Institutional credibility — A documented link to a registered non-profit with a transparent, century-long track record of ethical advocacy.
Official Corporate Partner Certificate — A personalized, diploma-style PDF certificate featuring the IVU logo, your organization's name, and the digitally signed endorsement of the IVU Chair. Ready to print, frame, and display in your offices, lobby, or share on your website and social channels as a mark of your commitment.
Alignment with global values — Public recognition of your organization's stance on animal welfare, climate responsibility, sustainable food systems, and ethical business practices — values increasingly demanded by consumers, investors, and regulators worldwide.
Network access — Connection to IVU's international community of member societies, scientists, nutritionists, activists, entrepreneurs, and vegan-friendly businesses around the world.
Support for a global mission — Your contribution directly helps fund IVU's educational resources, scientific publications, the IVU Podcast, World Vegan Month initiatives, and the World Vegan Festival, amplifying the plant-based message worldwide.

How to Join

Corporate Partnership begins with an annual contribution of USD 200 or more. Upon confirmation, your organization receives its official Corporate Partner Certificate and is welcomed into the IVU family.

Organizations seeking a higher level of engagement and recognition are invited to consider our Patron category (USD 500+), which offers expanded benefits and visibility.

For more than a century, IVU has been built by people and organizations who chose to stand on the right side of history — for the animals, for the planet, and for future generations. We invite your organization to join them.
