Aveda was born committed to being cruelty free and has always opposed the use of animal testing. Our products are “people-tested.”

We strive to set an example for leadership and responsibility of caring, not just in the world of beauty, but around the world. Our commitment to caring for animals and wildlife reaches far and wide. Żyjemy nim.

Our animal testing policy

Aveda believes that cosmetic products should be cruelty free. We are proud to have received Leaping Bunny approval in 2022. An internationally recognized gold standard for cruelty free products, Cruelty Free International's Leaping Bunny programme requires cruelty free standards over and above legal requirements.

All Aveda brand cosmetic products are approved under the Leaping Bunny programme. We adhere to a fixed cut-off date policy and proactively monitor our suppliers to ensure that our products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. Our supplier monitoring system is also independently audited.

Osiągnięcia, z których jesteśmy najbardziej dumni:

Our Aveda Corporate Campus is situated on 58-acres of National Wildlife Federation-Certified habitat, and we worked with NWF to create “drive with care” signs to help protect wildlife in the area.

Współpracujemy z Audubon Minnesota w celu rozszerzenia stanowisk gniazdowania ptaków na terenie naszej centrali w Blaine w stanie Minnesota. Zbudowaliśmy m.in. domek dla jerzyków kominowych, domek dla jaskółczaków modrych, skrzynki do gniazdowania dla karolinek, a także domki dla błękitników.

Od 2007 roku za pośrednictwem programu Aveda Miesiąc Ziemi wspieramy inicjatywę Audubon Upper Mississippi River Initiative, bezpośrednio finansując prace na rzecz poprawy jakości wody, które przyczyniają się do ochrony i poprawy jakości siedlisk na rzece z myślą o ptakach i innych dzikich zwierzętach.

Since 2013, to help protect pollinators, Aveda's corporate campus has been home to multiple honey bee colonies managed by our friends at the University Of Minnesota Bee Squad.

WSPIERAJ BADANIA CRUELTY-FREE

Darowizny od firmy Aveda służą do finansowania badań cruelty-free, których celem jest poznanie środowiskowych przyczyn raka piersi oraz czynników mogących mieć związek z tą chorobą, takich jak ekspozycja na toksyczne środki chemiczne i zanieczyszczenia. Od wielu lat nasze finansowanie jest kierowane do konkretnego projektu badawczego na Uniwersytecie Columbia w Nowym Jorku, który zajmuje się interakcją pomiędzy ekspozycją na czynniki środowiskowe a genetyczną skłonnością do raka piersi. Środki zebrane w przyszłości będą wspierać ten lub podobne projekty.

POZNAJ SWOJE CIAŁO
Badaj piersi regularnie i zgłaszaj wszelkie zmiany lekarzowi.

RÓB BADANIA
Regularnie badaj piersi u lekarza po 20. i 30. roku życia.
Jeżeli masz 40 lub więcej lat, co roku wykonuj mammografię. Jeżeli jesteś w grupie wysokiego ryzyka, zacznij wykonywać to badanie wcześniej.

DBAJ O DOBRĄ KONDYCJĘ
Polub warzywa i owoce. Zawarty w nich błonnik, przeciwutleniacze i inne składniki odżywcze mogą pomóc.

Utrzymuj zdrową wagę. Dodatkowa waga to dodatkowe ryzyko.

Ogranicz ilość spożywanego alkoholu – na zdrowie!

Nie pal, a jeśli palisz, przestań to robić.

Często ćwicz. Aby zmniejszyć ryzyko raka piersi, American Cancer Society zaleca od 45 do 60 minut intencjonalnej aktywności fizycznej co najmniej 5 razy w tygodniu.

Aveda Mission Partnerships

Aveda partners with over 100 nonprofit and NGO organizations around the world united in a common goal to provide and protect clean water.

In addition to their core focus of clean water, Aveda’s mission partnerships focus on benefitting community, supporting human rights, preserving, and enhancing biodiversity and helping mitigate climate change.

Aveda and Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation

Aveda has partnered with Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation (KSCF) in India for 17 years to help address issues surrounding child labor in the mica-mining industry of NE India. Through the development of Bal Mitra Grams or Child Friendly Villages (CFVs), KSCF works to eliminate child labor in India by partnering with local communities to develop proactive and responsible solutions.

Aveda and its parent company, The Estee Lauder Companies, have helped KSCF establish over 500 CFVs to date. These villages seek to ensure that none of its children work in the mica mines by promoting education and enrolling children in school. They also assist in the formation of child councils, which empower youth to be self-advocates and work with local governments to address critical child rights and issues like gender parity. CFVs also ensure communities have access to clean water, health and food security.

Moving forward, Aveda and KSCF will continue to expand our efforts to address challenges in the mica supply chain. Our partnership demonstrates how a collaborative model—one that utilizes the expertise of organizations on the ground working directly with local communities and listening to their needs—can lead to lasting solutions to issues that exist in global supply chains. This model has been recognized as a best practice by the National Commission for Protection of Child Protection Rights (NCPCR), the University of Delhi School of Social Work.

Here is a video summarizing the Child Friendly Village Model and our impacts to date:

Aveda and Asia Network for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioresources

Aveda has partnered with Asia Network for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioresources (ANSAB) based in Kathmandu, Nepal for 18 years focused on biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement in South Asia.

What began as a sourcing partnership to purchase FSC-certified handmade paper produced by the rural communities of Nepal to wrap specialty gift boxes during their holiday campaign has evolved into a revenue diversification program called the Public Private Community Alliance (PPCA). This program, established by Aveda and ANSAB in coordination with local Nepal Government departments and communities, provides education, training and support on how to sustainably grow and harvest organic vegetables to sell to local and regional markets.

This Ecosystem based commercial and community agriculture system has had a major impact including a resource nursery and demonstration center established with over 100 000 plants transplanted in Nepalese farmer fields to grow and harvest for sale to surrounding towns and cities including the capital, Kathmandu. Additionally, dozens of trainings have taken place on subjects including organic agriculture, biopesticides and micro-nutrient preparation. Aveda and ANSAB are currently working together on a plan to scale the successful program to additional municipalities across Nepal.

In addition to the PPCA, through direct grants to ANSAB from funds raised by the network through Earth Month, Aveda has have provided access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) for over 6K people and funded construction of dozens of toilets. They also help protect 42 000 acres of habitat including endangered species like the snow leopard and red panda.
