Avon has a rich heritage of embracing diversity and inclusion, with a particular focus on its vision to be "the company for women." The company is committed to developing a workplace environment that attracts, develops, retains, and advances a culturally diverse workforce throughout its global operations. This commitment also extends to supporting and working with suppliers that are owned and operated by diverse groups. The company has reaffirmed this commitment by integrating diversity and inclusion as a core business strategy aligned with the company's values.

Avon's Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) are important enablers to advancing the company's diversity and inclusion commitment as well. ARGs serve as liaisons between Associates and management to share best practices, increase awareness about the business need for and impacts of a diverse workforce, and develop a more inclusive workplace.
