Social Responsibility

We believe that a successful organization supports not only its employees and its consumers, but enriches the community in which it resides and society as a whole.

As a global provider of brands created to improve and enhance the lives of women, Kao invests in charitable and civic organizations that benefit women worldwide. Our support of organizations that research breast cancer cures, provide domestic violence assistance, or that provide assistance to women coming off public assistance, reflects our desire to enhance the appearance, health, and general well being of women.

Kao is an integral member of the societies in which we reside, and as such believes in contributing to these communities and to support their continued improvement. We have a responsibility to be a viable member of society and a good corporate citizen. Our support of local arts, educational, and civic organizations creates an enriched society that benefits not only the local community, but also our business as a whole.

Our aim is to establish a culture of awareness and involvement throughout our organizations worldwide, to engage in activities that make the most of our strengths and are consistent with our field of business, to cultivate a sound corporate reputation, and to foster a corporate culture that promotes community involvement as a sound business practice.

Our offices and brand teams support a variety of organizations that work to improve the lives of community members, including The Lavender Trust in the UK, the United Way in the US, and global disaster relief efforts by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières.
