Amway Publishes Global Corporate Citizenship Report
These and dozens of other examples of commitment to corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship are highlighted in the 2011 Amway Global Corporate Citizenship Report published today.
"Our vision of helping people live better lives has been an essential component of who we are and what we do for more than 52 years," said Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel and President Doug DeVos in a joint statement. "We try every single day to help people move from where they are to where they want to be. We have - and we always will - believe in better."
In 2011, Amway focused on making a positive impact in the following four key areas:
Ethics: Integrity and partnership are cornerstones of the company's philosophy. For more than 52 years, Amway has been committed to providing safe and effective products that satisfy consumers and meet applicable regulations. Amway works closely with Direct Selling associations, regulatory and consumer groups around the world to assure that the industry Code of Ethics is followed and that distributors and consumers are protected.
Communities: In 2011, Amway, its employees and distributors helped a record 1.5 million children through the Amway One by One Campaign For Children®. Since launching One by One in 2003, Amway has impacted more than 9.5 million children. Amway launched a new initiative with Habitat for Humanity across 10 countries in Latin America, and introduced the Nutrilite Little Bits program providing micronutrients to malnourished children in Zambia.
Employees: Amway is committed to being a responsible employer. Its robust professional development program offers opportunities for employees to increase their potential and advance their careers. Amway also promotes employees' well-being through the Amway Optimal You Program, which in 2011 contributed to a 38 percent reduction of health risk factors among U.S. participants. The American Heart Association recognized Amway as a Platinum Fit Friendly Company for its efforts.
Environment: Amway is committed to environmental stewardship and seeks to continuously find ways to improve its environmental performance. In 2011, Amway joined the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the world's largest voluntary reporting program of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Amway also reported on the use of green power through the EPA's Green Power Partnership. Three major Amway manufacturing facilities are registered under the prestigious ISO1400:2004 environmental management standard.
"As Amway continues its community involvement and environmental sustainability journey, we thank Amway distributors and employees around the world who, through their continued humanitarian and conservationist efforts, show what it means to be true global citizens," said Amway Vice President Todd Woodward.
