They describe themselves as:
Our Company
Avon is the world's largest direct seller of beauty and related products, with a global annual turnover
of over $10 billion. Avon operates in more than 100 countries through a network of over 6.5 million active independent Sales Representatives - often fondly known as the Avon Ladies.
Our people and our community
The Avon vision is to be the company that bests understands and satisfies the product, service and self-fulfilment needs of women, and this is central to everything we do.
It is pivotal in every technological advance, in our community involvement, in our continuing efforts to provide
a better product, and in improving our service to Representatives and their Customers.
The key attraction and success of our business is that it involves people. We bring a level of financial independence to many women, as well as a level of social contact, confidence and friendship.
This unique human touch is a key strength to our company.
We are very proud of the products that we sell and the fact that we are one of the market leaders in every beauty category.
We commit large amounts to product research. The Avon Research and Development Laboratories are located in Suffern, New York, where an international group of specialists work with world-renowned scientific institutions to develop beauty products that meet the needs of women globally.
We have been first to market with many innovations. For example, Avon was the first to bring AHA products to the marketplace.
Another, very important part of the self-fulfilment aspect of Avon’s vision is our commitment to women’s health, and in particular, the breast cancer Crusade. Avon’s commitment to women doesn’t stop at raising money for breast cancer. It is an integral part of our Company’s vision and encompasses a variety of community issues.
