Environmental Sustainability

Knowing our actions today will affect the quality of life for future generations, Mary Kay continuously seeks opportunities to improve our environmental performance and is striving to find ways to be even more sustainable and green.

Our environmental journey started long before it became a mainstay in corporate social responsibility. We first started using solar energy in 1980; we started focusing on refillable packing by 1986; and in 1989 we started a corporate recycling program. Our environmental consciousness has only grown stronger to ensure a healthy planet for future generations.
