Globally, Avon is a woman-centric organisation and has been addressing the social issues that matter most to women for over 130 years. We launched theJustice Institute as an effort to spread awareness and fight against the malicious grip of gender-based violence and harmful traditional practices prevalent in India. Other than this, we are also the largest corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause. Our business stands by beauty for a purpose as a guiding philosophy - helping women across India grow and make a mark for themselves. This is deeply rooted in its rich history of making women feel confident and financially independent!

With regards to gender work force, today in less than a year our diversity ratio has gone up from 5% to 15-20%. We feel women are capable of handling anything and everything, so why not a casa where they take charge of all departments. After consulting NGO’s and through employee referrals, we have shortlisted talent that includes not just women hostess, cashier, busser but also Nando’s India’s first ever women grillers who would handle both, the front and back grill.
