Namninsamlingen lämnades in till FN-organet Global Compact i oktober 2018 för att bidra till hållbarhetsmål 12 (SDG 12) – Hållbar Konsumtion och Produktion. Målet är att inom en snar framtid säkerställa ett globalt förbud som omfattar de länder som idag saknar lagstiftning mot djurförsök på kosmetiska produkter och ingredienser.
