We
are a truly international company, operating
in over 150 countries worldwide, through
a network of over 5 million independent
Sales Representatives.
Our
Vision "to be the company that best
understands and satisfies the product,
service and self-fulfillment needs of
women” - 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 in 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
works with world-renowned scientific institutions
to develop beauty products that meet the
needs of women globally.
We
were the first major beauty company to
stop animal testing. Moreover, 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-fulfillment
aspect of Avon's vision is our commitment
to women's health, and in particular,
the breast cancer cause.
