The Clorox Company stops advertising spend with Facebook
The Clorox Company will stop advertising spending with Facebook through to December.
"As a people-centred company committed to our values, we feel compelled to take action against hate speech, which we believe will increase through the balance of the year. This creates an increasingly unhealthy environment for people and our purpose-driven brands," the company said in a statement.
"We will maintain our planned level of advertising spending but shift to other media. We will continue to monitor this situation and revisit our position as needed."
"In the meantime, we will evolve our standards and guidelines for progress for all platforms and publishers to reflect our rising expectations for greater responsibility as these channels continue to become a more important part of people’s lives."

Emily Ratajkowski goes blonde with Kérastase Paris
After months of sheltering in place, iconic brunette Emily Ratajkowski recently decided to lighten up her look by going blonde with popular professional luxury haircare brand, Kérastase Paris.
Going blonde is something Ratajkowski had been thinking about for a while, but she was concerned about the toll it could take on her hair. Ratajkowski has built a strong and trusting relationship with Kérastase over the past three years and was finally ready to take the plunge after seeing how the products have transformed her hair.
She was confident her newly lightened hair would be in great hands after Kérastase launched the brand’s first colour care range exclusively for blondes, called Blond Absolu. Ratajkowski will be the face of the new Blond Absolu campaign, which will be released in January 2021.
“I’ve never coloured my hair or changed the length significantly in my entire life!” Ratajkowski said. “I’m absolutely thrilled that Kérastase gave me their blessing to become a blonde. I just celebrated my birthday and am so happy to be coming out of quarantine with a fresh new look. Beauty is meant to be fun and expressive and this is definitely, hands down, the most fun I’ve ever had with my look before.”

Aveda announces new initiative
Aveda has just activated a new solar array, which will provide 50 per cent of its manufacturing facility’s annual demand for energy, help furthering commitment to renewable energy.
This is an exciting step in the brand's corporate social responsibility initiatives, as it works toward its vision of being a renewable energy generator.
“We are proud to be able to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability through the use of renewable energy via our new solar array,” said Aveda SVP and global general manager, Barbara De Laere.
“Aveda has pioneered the use of renewable energy since 2006, when we became the first beauty company to manufacture using 100 per cent wind power (through the purchase of energy credits). Now, our new 2,900 panel solar array will power up to 50 per cent of our manufacturing facility’s annual demand for energy, with the remainder powered by wind. With the launch of this array, we are one step closer to our goal of becoming a carbon-positive manufacturer, one of the many sustainability goals we have set for the next decade.”
Inspired by Ayurveda, the 5,000 year-old healing art of India, Aveda was founded in 1978 in Minneapolis, Minnesota with the purpose of caring for the whole individual from Scalp to Soul. The eco-conscious beauty brand is just as committed to creating high-performing products as to upholding its guiding principles of wellness, sustainability and environmental awareness.
