Avon Provides Strong Support to Women and Our World

Avon, one of the world's leading beauty brands, has released its 2024 Sustainability Report. According to the report, Avon provided USD 2.3 million in donations globally last year to support women's empowerment, received 100% cruelty-free certification for all products, and prevented 4,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions through environmentally responsible practices.

Avon continues to lead not only in beauty and personal care but also in social and environmental responsibility. In its 2024 Sustainability Report, Avon shared concrete results achieved across a wide range of areas, from women's empowerment to reducing environmental impact. These figures clearly demonstrate Avon's sustainability vision and its commitment to society, nature and women.

Three core priorities: People, planet and products
Avon shapes its sustainability strategy around three core priorities. By investing in people, it supports the empowerment of women and communities; it places equality, fairness and human rights at the forefront. In its approach to protecting the planet, it safeguards biodiversity and fights climate change. With the goal of making its products more sustainable, it adopts circular economy principles, maintains a cruelty-free production approach and manages supply processes with a sense of responsibility.

Women's empowerment: USD 2.3 million in support
During 2024, Avon donated USD 2.3 million to programmes that provided direct support to women and their communities in different countries around the world. These contributions helped make women more visible and empowered in education, health and entrepreneurship. To date, Avon's total donations to support women have exceeded USD 1.1 billion.*

Animal-friendly production: 100% Cruelty-Free Certification
Avon has been working to ensure no animal testing for over 30 years. In 2024, all beauty and personal care products were approved under the Leaping Bunny Program of Cruelty Free International. During this period, in order to ensure that no tests were conducted on animals, approximately 4,000 suppliers were engaged and more than 8,000 raw materials were rigorously evaluated in 2023-2024.

Reducing environmental impact: 4,500 tonnes of CO₂ savings
Avon's efforts to reduce its environmental footprint yielded impressive results in 2024. By using 65% less packaging in refill tubes for Anew skin care serums compared to glass bottles and pumps, resource efficiency was increased. Thanks to environmentally responsible changes in printed materials, Avon prevented approximately 4,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually by preferring environmentally conscious catalogue suppliers.

Volunteering culture: 15,715 hours of contribution
Avon employees participated in a total of 15,715 hours of volunteering work globally. These activities, ranging from social assistance to environmental cleanup, from education to animal welfare projects, contributed to the development of a global culture of social responsibility across different areas.

"We will continue to work for a sustainable world"
Hasan Uluturk, General Manager of Avon Turkey, assessed Avon's sustainability journey targets with the following words: "As Avon, we are progressing with concrete and measurable targets on the path to achieving a sustainable future. By 2030, we aim to reduce our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 42%, and to make all our packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable. By 2050, we are committed to achieving net zero emissions. In this direction, we continue our efforts to progressively minimise the environmental footprint of our products and to transition to renewable electricity in all operations. We will also continue to collaborate with our suppliers to reduce supply chain emissions. Avon's sustainability vision is not limited to our own activities alone; it is a strong reflection of the global responsibility we feel towards society and the planet."
