We welcome and encourage inclusion and diversity. We’re proud to support the UN LGBTI Standards of Conduct for Business, and celebrate and support all of our LGBTIQA+ communities around the world.

Talking positively powerful

Our approach to responsible marketing

We believe in the power of the community. That’s why we ask every one of our teams and ambassadors to join our movement of positive and open communication. It’s important that people can trust us to bring the boom to their blusher. To call it right on causes, from gender equality and women’s health to well-being. And to do what we’ve promised.

That means we say things straight, and we stick by what we say. And we use our platforms and channels to speak up and say what we stand for. That’s why we’ve put together these guidelines, to clearly state our principles and values when it comes to communications and marketing.

Because when the world is fair and respectful, everyone is happier. And together, we rise.
