AMWAY HERITAGEAmway was founded in Ada, Michigan, USA, by two lifelong friends and business

partners, Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos. They started the business in 1959 out of

the basements of their homes. Rich and Jay believed owning a business allowed

people to have greater control of their lives and provide better for their families.

So they built the Amway business to make it easier for other people to start and

grow their own businesses. The founders’ entrepreneurial spirit continues to fuel

Amway. Today, Amway is one of the largest privately held companies in the United

States. It’s still family owned and run by sons of the founders.

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP

Amway is led by Chairman Steve Van Andel and President Doug DeVos. Both

have served in leadership positions with key industry organizations, including the

World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA) and the Direct Selling

Education Foundation.

Doug is currently chairman of the WFDSA and holds the responsibility of bringing

together global companies, CEOs and management teams to ensure the standards

by which the industry operates are as high as possible.

Steve is the former chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, having served

two separate terms.

“ Putting customers at the center of all we do is what has enabled

direct selling to thrive and grow. We want to do everything we can

now to ensure the future is strong for generations to come.”

– Doug DeVos, Amway President and WFDSA Chairman

DEFINING SUCCESSAmway Business Owners (ABOs) sell high-quality nutrition, beauty and home products

to consumers. The more products they sell, the more income they can earn. Many

ABOs also choose to build a business by sharing the Amway opportunity with others,

selling products and teaching others to do the same. This can mean a greater reach

for the product and ultimately higher income because of team sales volume.

Millions of people have chosen to start their own Amway business, selling Amway

products as a way to earn extra money while defining their own success. For some,

it could mean paying for tutoring or music lessons for their children, or helping to cover

the monthly bills — and for others, it could mean laying the foundation for long-term

financial independence.

THE BEST OF SCIENCE, NATURE AND RESEARCHAs global leaders in phytonutrient research, ethnic skin

studies, and water and air purification advancement, more

than 950 Amway scientists, engineers and technicians

collaborate from around the world to create new products

that support Amway Business Owners and the needs of

their customers.

Amway’s research and development teams also work

with scientific advisory boards comprised of respected

scientists and practicing clinicians. Their collective

mission is to guide research that supports Amway™

product development. Amway Scientific Advisory Boards

provide real-world insights into technology and research

trends that hold potential insights that eventually may

be incorporated into Amway's R&D efforts.

Our global research projects not only influence Amway's

product development but also help the larger R&D

community. For example, a recent study supported by

Amway’s Nutrilite Health Institute examined average adult

fruit and vegetable consumption, and found significant

deficiencies in people’s diets around the world.*

A separate study currently being conducted by Stanford

University (through funding from the Nutrilite Health

Institute) is analyzing how changes in diet and lifestyle

can impact long-term wellness and contribute to healthy

aging.** Results of both studies are informing ongoing work.

GLOBAL FOOTPRINTAmway has divided operations into four regions across the world. This structure

enables the company to quickly and efficiently address the unique needs of

regional business, Amway Business Owners and customers.

For example, local selling regulations, packaging requirements, product sizes

and brand preferences vary from region to region— and Amway is committed to

working with local governments and serving consumers in ways that benefit all.

Amway’s unique supply chain ensures quality because the company controls much

of the process— from where ingredients are sourced (many of which are from

Amway-owned organic farms), to where products are manufactured, to final delivery

of products to customers worldwide. To learn more about the Amway supply chain,

GLOBAL ORGANIC FARMINGAmway’s commitment to sustainable farming began decades

ago. Today, many botanicals—or plant-based ingredients—are

grown on Amway farms, which grow unique organic plants based

on location. Nutrilite™ is the only global vitamin and mineral

brand to grow, harvest and process plants on their own certified

organic farms*. Amway botanicals also are used in Artistry™

beauty and personal care products.

All Amway farms practice organic farming and include on-site

processing operations so nutrients can be preserved soon

after harvest. Botanicals grown by Amway suppliers use the

NutriCert™ certification process as a guideline for documenting

the producer’s source and growing practices.

GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVESAmway cares about the planet and its people. Since the

company was founded in 1959, sustainability has been a

cornerstone of the business. Amway’s first product, Liquid

Organic Cleaner (L.O.C.™), was one of the world's first

concentrated, biodegradable and environmentally sensitive

cleaning products.

Amway continually seeks ways to integrate sustainability

throughout the business. The company works to reduce

water use and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, uses

sustainable building and agricultural practices, and, where

possible, uses alternative energy sources.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD MALNUTRITIONAmway's corporate social responsibility philosophy is that

global and local challenges can be addressed by using the

best of business and the passion of people. For example,

Amway's nutrition expertise is being used to fight global

childhood malnutrition. It’s a significant effort, and Amway

and Amway Business Owners have partnered with leading

international groups, including the United Nations Foundation,

CARE, Glasswing International, World Vision and the Global

Alliance for Improved Nutrition to help bring essential nutrition

to children ages six months to five years old.

Amway scientists developed Nutrilite™ Little Bits™ supplement

to give malnourished children the essential daily vitamins

and nutrients needed to survive, thrive and grow. Distribution

is handled by CARE and other humanitarian organizations,

and partnerships are in place with global nongovernmental

organizations focused on malnutrition to maximize impact.

In 2015, Amway made a commitment to the United Nations’

Every Woman Every Child initiative to expand Nutrilite™ Little

Bits™ supplement distribution to a total of 20 countries by

2020. The company is also planning to distributing more

than 5 million more Nutrilite™ Little Bits™ packets by the

end of 2016.

Amway is also involved in the Scaling Up Nutrition program,

which unites governments, societies, the United Nations,

donors, businesses and researchers in a collective effort

to improve nutrition.
