Avon Product's Ecofriendly Initiatives and Stock Price
- Avon Product's Ecofriendly Initiatives and Stock Price
The Hello Green Tomorrow is an ecofriendly program started by Avon Products. Its goal is to empower a women's environmental movement, launching initially with Avon's donation to replant one million trees in the Atlantic Rainforest in South America and global fundraising to further restore this vital ecosystem at just $1 per tree.
Avon Hello Green Tomorrow will focus on the restoration of the South American Atlantic Rainforest, which is one of the tropical forests that serve as the "lungs of the earth" and, with only 7% remaining, one of the most threatened ecosystems. All trees planted in the Atlantic Rainforest through Hello Green Tomorrow support the United Nations Environment Program Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign.
The company also announced the Avon Paper Promise, a comprehensive policy outlining efforts and goals for promoting sustainable forest use, protecting forests, and reducing demands on forests. Avon's goal is to purchase 100% of its paper from certified and or post consumer recycled content sources within ten years, with a certification preference of Forest Stewardship Council.

AVP's US and International Home Pages & Intercultural Business Communication
AVP's US and International Home Pages
The first thing that pops out of the US homepage for Avon Products is the pink, pink, pink! But overall, the US homepage focuses on 3 very main aspects of AVP. Those aspects are finding a representative, selling Avon and buying online. So all in just the first view, online viewers get to see customizes their beauty by finding their own personal representative, there’s exposure to the business opportunity available to women, and the convenience of online shopping. There is a link for Spanish customers to have the site translated into Spanish. At the bottom of the page there’s a link “Choose a country” which leads to the AVP international homepage. One that homepage, we once again see our favorite color, pink! The part of this homepage that stands out to me is the mission statement. I wish that the US homepage also included a big bold and beautiful look at the company’s mission statement. There are also links to choose which country and that country’s particular website. International homepage also includes links to the company’s history, corporate responsibility report and awards and recognitions. From my point of view, I think the international page is more geared for people who have never known about Avon and are new to the products being available in their country where as the US page is more direct to people who are familiar with Avon and either want to sell it, buy it, or find the closest person in their area to it do!
