The results are in! We’re pleased to report that our Nutrilite brand ranks as the top-rated vitamin and supplement brand within the direct selling category in a consumer satisfaction survey by ConsumerLab.com.

More than 10,000 ConsumerLab.com subscribers participated in the survey, rating more than 1,500 brands.

Our Nutrilite brand continues to be a fan favorite around the world — also chosen by consumers as one of the top three health supplement brands in the AsiaOne People’s Choice Awards.

We appreciate the public votes of approval. Earning our customers’  loyalty is the best reward of all.

The achievements of exceptional Indian women were center stage last week at the  India Today Woman Summit & Awards in Mumbai, presented by Amway.

The summit featured big name speakers like Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi and Marianne Pearl, widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl.  But the real stars were the winners of the India Today Woman Awards – 12 women representing the arts, business, sports, public service and social activism.  Amway India sponsored the “Woman of the Year” and “Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year” honors.

The event was created, in the words of India Today Group Editor in Chief Aroon Purie, to “not only acknowledge the contribution of these women but…also allow the newer generation of women, to learn, share and experience what it takes to be the best.” 

And that’s something we’re proud to support.

A lot of best practices were developed in the design of the eSpring Water Purifier.

Now Amway has been honored for those practices.

Last week Frost & Sullivan announced the winners of its third annual Asia Pacific Best Practices Awards, which recognize outstanding performance in several industries.  Amway was honored as the 2010 Asia Pacific Water Filtration Company of the Year.

Picking up awards is getting to be a regular practice for eSpring.  Last year the brand was honored with an environmental stewardship award for a redesign that reduced the unit’s plastic content and energy use.

Amway Korea’s ”Nutrilite Story” ad campaign tells how Nutrilite grows and harvests plants for our Nutrilite supplements.

This story has a very happy ending,  as Nutrilite was just named Korea’s top brand by the Korea Advertising Society for the ad campaign and other innovative marketing efforts.

Congratulations to our colleagues in Korea for telling the Nutrilite story in such a compelling – and award-winning – way.

Amway supports non-profit organizations around the world in many ways. Sometimes, the most valuable gifts we can give aren’t just time or money, but expertise that can help an organization improve its operations.

Amway, as part of its One by One Campaign for Children, supports Kids Food Basket, a Grand Rapids organization that provides ”sack suppers” for kids who might not otherwise get meals at home.  

Our experts worked with Kids Food Basket to map and streamline their processes.  The result?  Improvements that mean more meals are packed in a shorter period of time, helping Kids Food Basket feed more children. 

This innovative effort captured the attention of  the Business Civic Leadership Center of the US Chamber of Commerce, which named Amway a finalist in the “Partnership” category of its Corporate Citizenship Awards.

The recognition is nice.  But we’re even prouder of our role in helping a great organization “do good” even better.
