Sustainability at Mary Kay

At the heart of our sustainability efforts are three pillars: environmental, social and economic sustainability. We recognize that true sustainability is not just about reducing our carbon footprint or recycling; it’s about creating a business model that values and uplifts every individual, especially women; fosters social well-being; and ensures economic growth that benefits everyone.

Developed in collaboration with key stakeholders and aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, Mary Kay is proud to be part of a global coalition working diligently to ensure a brighter, more equitable future.
