Give vegans their own shelf in the fridge at work, bosses are told after judge ruled that those who choose a plant-based diet for ethical reasons are protected from discrimination

The Vegan Society published new guidelines in a booklet after a judge's landmark ruling that ethical veganism is protected by law against workplace discrimination.

The guidelines state employers should consider 'exempting vegans from participating in buying (or signing off on the purchase of) non-vegan products'.

The society said bosses can 'create a positive atmosphere' by monitoring whether an employee's ethical vegan stance is the subject of mockery.
