Changing Habits, improving health.
Promoting young women’s self esteem
Global target :
With our Dove brand we have already helped 5 million young people improve their self-esteem through educational programmes. By 2015 we aim to have helped 15 million young people.
Australia & NZ Focus
Since 2006 we’ve helped improve the self-esteem of over 160,000 young people in Australia through the “Dove BodyThink” programme run in partnership with Butterfly Foundation and we aim to reach over 250,000 by 2015.
Dove has also supported the Australian National and New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation with its Dove Pink range since 2007, raising almost $950,000 for research and helping boost the self-esteem of cancer patients. Our ambition is to raise more than $1.5 million by 2015.
Health & well-being partners
We partner with leading Australian and New Zealand organisations such as the National Heart Foundation of Australia, the Dietitians Association of Australia, Dietitians New Zealand and the New Zealand Nutrition Foundation.
We are advisory board members of AWASH (Australian Division of World Action on Salt and Health) and we actively participate in Government and industry expert committees including the Food and Health Dialogue and the Australian Food and Grocery Council’s Health, Nutrition and Scientific Affairs Committee. We support health professionals by providing evidence based educational materials that help share healthier diet messages with consumers in Australia and New Zealand. We also hold a number of educational seminars for health professionals each year and support nutrition research through our research scholarship programs with the Dietitians Association of Australia and Dietitians NZ.
