Avon: The Company For Women


For nearly 125 years, Avon’s goal has been to help women achieve empowerment. They believe in “commitment to such critical areas as economical empowerment, environmental stewardship, and production responsibility." They have given tens of millions of Avon Independent Sales Representatives the opportunity to earn money in order to provide for their families and potentially "realize their personal dreams." Avon’s foundation and who they strive to be is based on five key principles of trust, respect, belief, humility, and integrity. 

Avon is committed to the well-being of women and society by contributing to philanthropic efforts such as supporting a cure for breast cancer and an end to domestic violence. By 2010, Avon will have contributed over $1 million to philanthropic funds. By 2012, they also have plans to reduce energy consumption by 10%, GHG emissions by 10%, and water consumption by 7%. They strive to maintain their commitment of being a “socially responsible, ethical company that is watched and emulated as a model of success.”
