Factory audit

Avon was founded in 1886. Inspired by a small perfume sample included with a book, "Father of Avon" David McConnell named the company "California Perfume Company". Avon entered China in 1990. The Avon (China) Co., Ltd. currently has 74 branches, covering 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 4 municipalities directly under the Central Government in China, with approximately 2,000 employees. 

In 2004, Avon began to establish a supplier code of conduct that reflected the company's core values and unique corporate culture, and to promote its application in the comprehensive supply chain transition initiative program. The new standards were announced in 2005 and were used for all of Avon's own factories and third-party manufacturers that produced products for Avon. The code requires all of Avon's suppliers to sign a confirmation document acknowledging and adhering to this code.

Avon's global supplier code of conduct provides a clearer illustration of the company's consistent adherence to ethical business standards. For instance, it demonstrates Avon's zero-tolerance stance towards violations of the ILO guidelines concerning child labor.

Comply with local laws and regulations 

2. Child labor policies in line with ILO guidelines 

3. Prohibition of the use of forced labor 

4. Punitive Measures 

5. Working Hours 

6. Salary / Benefits 

7. Anti-discrimination 

8. Through associations and collective bargaining 

9. Health and Safety 

10. Subcontractor 

11. Communication 

12. Supervision and Compliance 

13. Ethically sound practices 

II. The process and management of Avon's factory inspection program: 

The external compliance and auditing company entrusted by Avon will manage this program, including communication with suppliers, payment to suppliers, as well as scheduling and follow-up of audits. Avon reviews the relevant information on a monthly basis to assess the progress and performance of the suppliers. 

Review and verification 

Since 2005, all suppliers of beauty and non-beauty products in North America, as well as their factories and subcontractors, have been required to undergo audits. The auditing companies, apart from a major compliance and auditing company commissioned by Avon, also include two other auditing companies. The auditing fees are paid by the suppliers. 

Reform process 

The supplier is responsible for reviewing the improvement plan and making the necessary corrections under the guidance of the Avon compliance auditor. The specific results will be reported to Avon by the auditor. As the audit scope covers all suppliers of Avon globally, Avon has established appropriate benchmarks to assess and report the performance of the suppliers.
