INSPIRING POTENTIAL

Amway was founded on the belief that, by helping people improve their lives, they could make the world a better place.

Our fathers knew that harnessing their own potential as business owners and innovators would inspire others to join them in building this great company. So they made it their mission to be more, do more, give more. And more than a half-century later, we’re still emulating their powerful example.

Steve Van Andel Doug DeVos Chairman President

Our passion for citizenship sparks meaningful change in children and communities around the globe.

Inspiring Potential

In 53 years and across 100 countries and territories, Amway has grown to become a leading direct seller. Our business model taps the potential of millions who believe they can better themselves and, in turn, help others. Our products blend the power of science with the goodness of nature to benefit people and the planet. Our passion for potential sparks meaningful change in children and communities.

Since its founding in 2003, the Amway™ One by One Campaign for Children, has achieved an important milestone: 10 million children’s lives transformed in 10 years. As we look back over this first decade, we celebrate the people and partnerships that have propelled this grass-roots movement. These generous volunteers and givers are potential seekers and progress achievers – they help us fulfill the Amway vision of helping people live better lives.

Corporate social responsibility is innate to our sustainability efforts, too. From our first products sold in 1959, Amway has upheld a legacy of ethical, efficient business operations. This commitment to stewardship deepens each year through product design enhancements and the measures we take to reduce our environmental footprint. We’re on track to meet – and in many cases, exceed – our sustainability goals.

People, products, performance – across Amway, we’re unleashing potential. We’re awed by how far we’ve come and inspired to keep becoming more, together.

CORPORate SOCIaL ReSPOnSIBILItYCorporate social responsibility is built into everything we make and do at Amway. We’re stewards of our resources for the simple reason that it’s the right thing to do – for people and the planet.

With this in mind, we drive our corporate social responsibility goals through three primary areas.

Our People: Mobilizing People for GoodAmway believes in the power and potential that exists within each of us.

Amway Founders Council members are truly ambassadors – in business and in life. They not only have reached the highest level of achievement in their Amway™ businesses, but also eagerly dedicate their energy and earnings to serving causes that are close to their hearts. Here are six groups of Amway leaders who are changing the world, one child at a time.

Several years have passed since Founders Crown Ambassador Tim Foley first embarked on what would become the journey of a lifetime: building homes in Guatemala. each year, more than 100 Amway distributors, employees and volunteers now join him to mix concrete, fill in floors, heft cinder blocks and cut rebar alongside proud future homeowners. last year alone, another 10 homes were constructed in Guatemala and, with the help of an Amway matching grant, volunteers will help build more than 40 homes through Habitat for Humanity. Thanks to Foley’s team, Amway is making homeownership a reality for those who never thought it possible.

Founders Crown Ambassadors Holly Chen and Barry Chi are giving underserved youth in Tainan and Taitung a new reason to hope through Hope Schools. These struggling children, whose parents have moved to larger cities to find work, now have a place to learn and play among friends. From language and music to sports and field trips, the afterschool and summer activities enrich their minds and renew their spirits. Chi and Chen, together with their fellow Amway volunteers, have inspired local families, churches and schools to join in grooming this next generation of Taiwanese leaders. Their work also extends beyond Taiwan to mainland China, where they have built schools and supported nutrition programs that have helped thousands of children.

Do you know what it’s like to raise an extreme needs child? Or see your child confront life confined to a wheelchair? Founders Crown Ambassadors Jim and Nancy Dornan do. When their son eric was born with Spina Bifida, they were determined to give him a sense of purpose and community. So these proactive leaders invested in an outlet that gives kids with extreme needs – and their parents – the opportunity to play and bond: Power Soccer. In 20 years, the Dornans have helped grow Power Soccer from five teams to 60, and become the largest internationally organized sport of its kind.

each month, in a small office in downtown Seoul, Amway leaders gather not to talk business but to discuss how to best support children in need. At the heart of this group are Founders Crown Ambassadors leonard and esther Kim, who in 2009 launched the World Wide Children’s Charity and called upon their top producers to invest in their mission. In just three years, they’ve mobilized a multitude of volunteers and donations to serve children in Africa and Japan, and in Korea at child welfare centers across the country. The Kims, alongside their fellow distributors, regularly volunteer at the centers, and help advocate for more support.

In 2013, Amway celebrates 30 years and $30 million of giving to easter Seals – a milestone we couldn’t have reached without Founders Crown Ambassadors Dexter and Birdie Yager. In the 1980s, the Yagers were introduced to easter Seals through an Amway partnership centering on national telethons. They stepped up as early supporters, and then encouraged their networks to follow. Three decades later, this philanthropic family still champions easter Seals. Three of their seven children now run their Amway business and continue their legacy of giving at places like the easter Seals UCP Child Care Center. One of only two of its kind nationwide, the facility blends children of all developmental levels into one caring, empathetic community. Inspired by the Yagers, Amway is helping expand the childcare center’s capabilities with the addition of a multisensory room that stimulates learning, growth and development in all kids.

Imagine eating the same poorly nourished meal every day. Or not having access to books at school. That’s just what migrant children in China must endure, since their schools can’t afford kitchen facilities or adequate learning opportunities. No longer, thanks to Amway Charity Foundation and the support of many distributor leaders. Amway launched Spring Sprout, a nutrition initiative combating malnutrition, across rural China. Amway China funded 745 ‘Nutrition Kitchens’ – and trained just as many nutritionists – to feed thousands of schoolchildren. Urban migrant youth were nourished, too, through Project Sunshine. In collaboration with the China Young Pioneers National Working Committee, Amway funded libraries, teachers and programs in 45 counties – filling an especially critical need, since migrant students there don’t receive the same schooling as other kids. And our top leaders are backing the efforts with their own donations and volunteering.

GOOD WORK COntInueSMore partnerships are underway with other top Amway Founders Council members around the world. We hope to capture more of their stories soon:

BRIGht futuReS In ChInaAcross rural towns and villages in China, millions of migrant children are left behind when their parents move to the city to seek better work. While these kids attend school, the feeding programs there do not provide the proper nutrition required to grow and learn. This need fueled the Amway Charity Foundation (ACF) to create Spring Sprout, an innovative initiative that brings ‘Nutrition Kitchens’ to schools across 10 provinces. By the end of 2012, 754 kitchens were built to deliver locally sourced, balanced meals prepared by a trained kitchen staff that now has the necessary resources to nourish more than 350,000 students. Good things are happening for urban families, too: ACF launched Project Sunshine to design and build school libraries and programming in 45 counties for migrant children who don’t have access to the same government-funded education and health services as their urban peers.

Amway China is not a recent supporter of children of migrant families. In fact, Amway has supported the futures of these children for many years by sending university graduates to teach in remote schools, upgrading school facilities and supporting extracurricular activities, primarily focused on impoverished areas in Western China. The rainbow Project, which aims to create more opportunities for children left behind when their parents move to big cities to find work, has supported the renovation of schools and organized recreational and sporting activities that promote all-around development of children. In the past two years, Amway China has built 105 rainbow Activity rooms, benefitting 220,000 children.

Supporting causes countrywide, the foundation is combating Taiwan’s most critical issues with programs like Seeing the Future, Advancing the Dreams, which filled academic gaps by providing tutoring services to more than 1,200 disadvantaged students. likewise, the Hope School project brought music, sports, language and field trips to underserved youth without access to academic enrichment. Middle school students in Taitung benefited from Amway funding for a three-year program providing tuition scholarships for 20 schools and support for another eight remote high schools. Childhood nutrition was a focus, too: The foundation launched nutrition education programs in 62 primary schools in Hsin-chu County. From teaching materials to promoting right diet and nutrition concepts, the program put healthy eating at the forefront for these overlooked children and families.

environmental stewardship took center stage when the Amway Organic Farming Program came to primary schools in Hong Kong. Organized by the Hong Kong Organic resource Centre and sponsored by Amway Hong Kong, this impressive initiative instilled the importance of organic farming while promoting the many benefits of a low-carbon lifestyle. Students took pledges to be responsible organic farmers and protect the environment. Amway distributors led by example as well, with more than 400 pledging to become volunteer Green Organic Ambassadors and work alongside junior farmers as they tend their school-based organic farms. Since its launch in 2011, more than 40 training sessions, organic farming workshops, and organic farm day and harvest carnivals have taken place across Hong Kong, making way for a greener world for generations to come.

Statistics like these sparked a partnership between Amway and Habitat for Humanity to build homes across latin America. Amway distributors and employees constructed 66 homes this year alone. For example, in southeast São Paulo, one of Brazil’s largest slums underwent a process of urbanization to become a neighborhood district with Amway at the heart of invigorating development.

Highlights include the Netherlands, where 100 runners participated in Dam to Dam, a UNICeF race benefitting African schools. Team Nutrilite ran the British 10K supporting Special Olympics, as well as the Chestnut run in Ukraine to raise money for the Children’s Centre of Cardiology. An impressive 50 Amway teams competed in a relay for Sweden’s Friends Foundation, which advocates for kids who are bullied in school. Amway even encouraged children to be the runners in Poland, where 18 races were organized, and every child participating in the 1,000 meter stadium run was awarded an Amway Cup.

Since most of these young men and women will eventually live in Germany, Amway employees gave them a head start on their new life with hands-on multicultural activities like preparing food together, playing soccer and learning basic woodworking, German traffic rules and how to ride and repair bikes.

When Amway leaders learned of this need, they stepped up and joined The Archbishop Tutu 2015 Campaign©, which strives to outfit 20 million African students with their very own Tutudesk©. In partnership with The lapdesk Company, Amway created custom lapdesks, which provide a writing surface, as well as feature the alphabet, timetable, numbers, shapes, an emergency phone number and a list of children’s rights. Amway distributors from europe have been invited to sponsor lapdesks for other regions, making this a truly global initiative.

A bright future begins by putting your best foot forward. Yet for the young and underserved in India, getting started on that right path can be especially difficult. That’s why Amway India and the Amway Opportunity Foundation continue to find new ways to reach this needy population. In partnership with the Devnar Foundation for the Blind and other Project Sunrise partners in Hyderabad, Amway provides services ranging from basic education and computer skills to health and hygiene. Of special note in 2012 was Awakening the remarkable You, a project developed with renowned corporate trainer and Amway distributor, rajesh Murthy. The initiative empowered 150 kids to realize their ability to make right life choices through critical communication skills, time mastery, goal setting and relaxation strategies.

So when the Amway for Thai Society Foundation (ATF) learned that the average Thai child reads just two books per year due to nothing more than a lack of books, it launched Flying Book. This interactive initiative enables any person, anywhere to vote on his or her favorite books and then ‘fly’ them to young readers in Thailand. Votes are cast using the Flying Book app, web site or Facebook fan page. Then, via the world’s first augmented reality and location-based book donation platform, voters can follow their books in real time as they travel electronically to every corner of Thailand. Finally, ATF bolstered these efforts by sending 100 top-voted books to 31 school libraries.

The days and weeks following a natural disaster get the most attention. But what happens months and years later, while recovery and rebuilding continue? Amway continues to respond, naturally. So when an earthquake struck Yogyakarta and destroyed 50,000 homes and 650 schools, Amway Indonesia immediately stepped up with a donation of 1.6 billion rupiah to boost rebuilding. Just one year later, two new elementary schools opened. The following year, distributors and employees committed to contributing 100,000 rupiah every month toward books, supplies, uniforms and shoes for hundreds of students. Now, nearly five years after that fateful earthquake, Amway Indonesia still proudly provides this monthly support.

Amway recognizes that there are substantial opportunities to innovate and grow as a company by creating global solutions to some of the world’s greatest issues. Through our core competencies in entrepreneurism, nutrition and water treatment, to name a few, we improve in the lives of people facing difficult to dire challenges. And these efforts extend far beyond our philanthropy.

While we have always given individuals the tools to start their own businesses, it’s our expertise that has helped so many reach their potential.

Our culture of scientific excellence distinguishes us as well. Through Amway and Nutrilite, we distribute more nutritional supplements than any other company in the world. Amway scientists have developed the world’s first and only plant-based micronutrient supplement with 15 life-essential vitamins and minerals that today is being used to help fight chronic malnutrition in children.

Most of us will never know what it means to lack access to nutritious food. But millions of men, women and children do. In fact, The World Health Organization identifies chronic malnutrition as the underlying cause for 35% of preventable deaths in children from birth to 5. Their statistics show that 104 million children were undernourished, and 174 million experienced stunted growth in 2010 alone.

As a global solutions provider, Amway stepped up to address chronic malnutrition with two initiatives in two different parts of the world.

nutRILIte LIttLe BItS, BIG StRIDeSIn 2009, Amway and Nutrilite came together to launch NUTrIlITe little Bits™, a global social marketing initiative. It was a first for us, and two years in, it’s having a profound effect on children across the world.

NUTrIlITe little Bits delivers 15 essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, vitamin A and one of nature’s most concentrated sources of natural Vitamin C. When added to any native food, this tasteless, odorless yet potent powder fills micronutrient deficiencies in children from six months to five years old – deficiencies that can prevent growth, inhibit brain development, and contribute to anemia and disease. Without these vital nutrients, children who should be learning and playing can become listless, lethargic and even unable to move or walk.

In partnership with the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Nutrition in Mexico, Amway conducted a pilot study with approximately 150 kids with exceptional results: After just six months of intervention, NUTrIlITe little Bits reduced both the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia by nearly 90 percent and the prevalence of stunting by nearly 40 percent. It also produced more active, playful children. This success was possible through a partnership with Un Kilo de Ayuda and, in 2012, led to nourishing nearly 400 children with NUTrIlITe little Bits.

Amway leaders next looked to lusaka, Zambia, to partner with the Christian Alliance for Children in Zambia (CACZ) and integrate NUTrIlITe little Bits into an established feeding and health education program called Milk and Medicine. We trained CACZ teams from four communities, who then distributed NUTrIlITe little Bits to 175 children, as well as weighed and measured them monthly to ensure proper growth. In 2012, we extended support to an additional two communities in Zambia, supporting a total of 250 additional children.

Now the NUTrIlITe little Bits program aligns with best in practice approaches by the World Health Organization as a leading global solution for chronic malnutrition. Over the next three years, Amway teams are planning to engage upwards of 20 markets through established children’s health partner organizations. likewise, Nutrilite scientists are developing a new formula to ensure fit and ability across multiple countries.

KEY PARTNERSHIPSWhile we are confident in our core competencies, we know we will never address the needs of chronically malnourished children if we set off on our own. That’s why Amway is partnering with two organizations with extensive experience in global health and nutrition, with operations and partnerships on the ground in countries around the world. In 2012, Amway entered into a formal partnership with CAre, an organization with decades of experience helping women and children in need. Amway also became a formal member of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), benefitting from networks, expertise and a strong advocacy platform to inform key influencers and the general public about the need for adequate nutrition.

A little girl named “Blessings” is a shining example of the benefits of a NUTrIlITe little Bits. When Amway leaders first met her, she was severely malnourished and could not stand, walk or even crawl. Thanks to our mighty micronutrient powder and some great programs, Blessings lost her bloated stomach and began walking and even speaking intelligibly in just six months. She’s now thriving at a healthy weight, and her smiling face is proof of the power of Amway partnerships.

leveraging Amway expertise for the global good led us to another worldwide challenge: access to safe water. When the World Health Organization projected that, by 2015, 605 million people will not have access to potable water, we knew we had to create waves with science and citizenship.

Water is vital to survival. This simple fact sparked Amway to create a low-cost solution for clean, safe drinking water nearly 30 years ago. In 1984, we innovated drinking water treatment technology with the first generation of our eSpring™ water filter. Six years later, we integrated ultraviolet disinfection to destroy more than 99.99 percent of the bacteria and viruses that may be found in drinking water. This led to helping establish the NSF/ANSI Standard 55: Ultraviolet Microbiological Water Treatment Systems, as well as the debut of a new eSpring™ system in 2002. Ten years later, eSpring remains the world’s largest selling brand of kitchen water treatment systems.2

leveraging our expertise in water filtration technology in rural and peri-urban communities, especially those suffering from post-disaster water crises, is an Amway passion. recent highlights of these humanitarian efforts include technological developments and partnerships in developing countries like Ghana, Haiti and the Dominican republic.

SAfE WATER PARTNERSHIPS PROmISE HEALTH

Amway joined forces with International Aid to launch a global safe water initiative more than a decade ago. In 2000, International Aid unveiled a portable biosand filter for the developing world and we supported this effort immediately. This partnership led to the creation of the Safe Water Team (SWT) – Amway is still represented on its Board of Directors.

In 2009, shortly after a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, we teamed up with SWT and sent 22 pallets of biosand filters with additional chlorinator and safe water storage developed by Amway to enhance the reduction of pathogens, eliminate the waiting period before the filter can be used and reduce the possibility of recontamination in treated water. Since then, Amway and SWT have supported hundreds of families in the Dominican republic with water filters and education about the importance of safe water and hygiene.

Continually dedicated to research and quality, we first used our expertise to help improve upon the traditional biosand filters by adding a step in filter system to chlorinate the water. eventually, we were able to develop a gravity-fed multistage treatment technology that replaced the sand and performed well in every facet: bacteria and virus removal; multiple-barrier protection; and even weight – 17 versus 120 pounds. Amway donated more than 50 of these units in 2012 to families outside Tamale, Ghana. Within six months, we saw an 82.5 percent decrease in incidents of diarrhea combined with a 72 percent reduction in doctor visits due to water born disease.

Similarly, Amway helped give families in the Dominican republic access to potable water. We focused efforts in four areas – hygiene, sanitation, education and water filtration – and installed 45 water filters that now provide clean water for about 350 people. We’ve also planted trees, contributed to community clean-up and distributed 147 pairs of shoes to needy schoolchildren – a first pair for many kids. Future plans include a pilot program to install eSpring units in schools, providing access to sanitation and improving hygiene education.

With leadership comes a responsibility to elevate entrepreneurship, and we do so whenever, wherever possible. We continually cultivate the Amway™ Business Opportunity so that it resonates across continents and cultures, driving economic success in virtually every corner of the world. It builds financial freedom and enables us to fulfill the Amway vision of helping people live better lives. Among peers, Amway is a prominent and active member of leading industry associations like the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, the Direct Selling educational Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. We uphold and underscore the rigorous standards set by these organizations with principles like honesty, integrity, responsibility, accountability and philanthropy.

We believe ours is an industry built on helping others, too. As a global citizen, we infuse corporate social responsibility into everything we do, as well as shine the spotlight on the communities served by our amazing distributors. They are proof positive that the world is a better place because of entrepreneurs, and we are convinced that society as a whole benefits from entrepreneurial innovation and drive.

Something revolutionary happened when Amway South Africa unveiled its Township Strategy in late 2009. Designed to introduce the Amway Business Opportunity to new prospects with the intent of growing the Amway business in South Africa, the effort required us to take the Amway business into rural communities. It was uncharted ground, as our business had historically focused on the higher socio-economic population and the new strategy targeted South Africa’s working low-to-middle class.

Our approach was a first, too: We used innovative strategies and alternatives to product sizing, pricing and bundling that resonated with individuals in these outlying communities. Physical presence and mobile marketing positioned the Amway Business Opportunity as viable and vital for this

more financially challenged population. In just three years, Amway South Africa has accomplished two significant results: increasing business and helping people to move up the economic ladder. Thanks to the Township Strategy, the Amway business in South Africa leapt by more than 200 percent and showed many low-to-middle class members of society a way out of poverty. The latest figures continue to inspire, with Amway South Africa reporting a 72 percent increase in new distributors in just two years.

Wherever we live and work, Amway seeks to support a culture of entrepreneurship. With this in mind, we published the Amway european entrepreneurship report 2012 (Aeer) 4. In its third consecutive year, the study continues to offer insights into global attitudes towards entrepreneurship. Findings stimulate discussion and raise awareness of what needs to be done to encourage entrepreneurship with our external stakeholders.

led by our scientific partner, the entre-preneurship Center at ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the 2012 survey was conducted across 16 european countries with nearly 17,800 men and women in representative target groups selected by the polling institute GfK in Nuremberg. respondents were polled face-to-face or via telephone interviews on the subject of self-employment. Key findings revealed the unleashed potential of entrepreneurship in times of crisis: More than one in three, or 38 percent of respondents, reported that they can imagine starting their own business, with the highest percentages in

Greece, Switzerland and Turkey. The Aeer also showed that self-employment enjoys a positive reputation throughout europe. On average, two thirds, or 69 percent, of those polled held a positive attitude towards the concept. Denmark expressed the most positivity, followed by France and Great Britain. What’s more, three out of four of all respondents, or 78 percent, estimated that in 10 years entrepreneurship will remain equally or more important in the modern working world.

The AeeP fosters a global public discussion of entrepreneurship. The published results were a highlight of 2012 Global entrepreneurship Week, an initiative that introduces entrepreneurship to people in six continents. Since its creation in 2008, more than seven million people from 115 countries have participated in entrepreneurial-related activities during the week.

GLOBaL taLent DeveLOPMentWe keep our eyes on the prize: personal and professional best. We pride ourselves on giving our employees the power and knowledge to advance their careers at Amway. Our employee-focused culture drives education and training, always tailored to individual growth and development, so that each employee has the opportunity to apply his or her talents beyond the job description.

OPtIMaL YOu, OuR PReMIeR eMPLOYee WeLLneSS PROGRaMOur employees are our most valuable assets at Amway, and we recognize that our business success is directly related to their health and well-being. With this in mind, we began a journey in 2005 to transform our culture to one that not only provides the necessary tools and resources to be highly productive but also an environment that offers a holistic approach to educating and influencing health and well-being. We continually assess the physical and emotional needs of our workforce. Annually, we modify, enhance and/or increase employee access to unique wellness education, programs and resources that ultimately assist them in taking more control over their health. In many countries we offer a 60-question health screening and 45-panel blood screening – both more comprehensive than most doctor requirements – along with health coaching and other tools that help sustain long-term lifestyle changes that can improve quality of life and daily productivity at work and at home.

“I’m proud to work at a place that cares how healthy I am and is willing to provide resources, tools and incentives to improve my quality of life.”-Optimal You User

We often hear how Optimal You is changing lives for the better. For many employees, the simple experience of undergoing a health screening has a profound effect: it empowers them to take charge of their own health. Meet one such employee who, at 64 years old, decided to follow her instincts and get the help she needed to save her life.

“Two years ago I was referred to a cardiologist because I was complaining of an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. After my eKG came back normal, the doctor made me feel like it was all in my head, nothing more than stress or drinking too much coffee. Yet as an analytical chemist, I always want to know the reasons for everything. Why was I tired all the time? Why did I have a small amount of swelling in my ankles? Why was I short of breath while climbing stairs? My doctors weren’t giving real answers to my concerns.

“In September, I received the results of my wellness screening blood test. Some sections that were previously green were now yellow and red – cholesterol, lDl ratios and more – and my C-reactive Protein (CrP) had changed from 1.1 to 5.73. I did some research on this test – again I wanted to know why. At my request, my physician sent me to a new cardiologist who did another blood test, eKG and stress test. Again, all came back good except for one test that was labeled ‘non-conclusive’. With this small question, my cardiologist recommended a heart catheter to rule anything out and put me at ease.

“Two weeks later, I went in. The catheter showed a total blockage in the anterior wall of my heart and I had to have a stint implanted. I want to thank Optimal You for saving my life! You know your body better than anyone else – if it feels wrong, it just might be!”

Amway has a legacy of ethical business operations and environmental responsibility, starting with one of the very first products we sold in 1959 – lOC (liquid Organic Compound). As the company continues to grow, increasingly we are innovating new and improved ways to operate more efficiently. This makes sense for our business, for the businesses of our Distributors today and tomorrow, and for the environment around us.

In 2009, Amway established four key areas to both focus on finding efficiency in our operations and to improve our environmental footprint. Today, we continue to work to:

• Improveourrecyclingratestodecreaseour waste generation

• Increaseouruseofalternativeenergy

• Reduceourwaterusage

• Decreaseouroverallgreenhouse gas emissions

In 2012, we continued our Global environmental Metrics reporting program encompassing our global supply chain facilities in the US, Mexico, Brazil, Vietnam and China. Considering the substantial growth of Amway over the past year, our environmental performance continues to track well toward our 2014 goals.

Four major Amway manufacturing facilities – Ada, Michigan; Buena Park, California; Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam; and Guangzhou, China – have environmental management systems that are registered under the ISO 1400:2004 environmental management standard. environmental management systems continue to facilitate efficiency steps to help achieve our performance goals, while annual third-party audits through the global ISO standard continue to help Amway track our results.

eneRGY uSe anD eMISSIOnSOur first sustainability goal is to reduce the Amway carbon footprint, which is expressed by reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our goal is to reduce GHG emissions by 25 percent by 2014. We have implemented many new projects that contribute to this goal, including a new Strategic Operating Model and the purchase of renewable power in the form of wind generated electricity. Another key strategy has been to do more with less, as energy conservation plays a big role in reducing demand while sales continue to grow. In 2012, we took several actions to help achieve our 2014 goals:

• Wearereducingelectricityusethroughthe installation of new energy efficient lighting. each year, we focus on areas that need upgrading. In 2012, we upgraded lighting in the Pressure Packaging plant, the Plastics plant and

• Amwaycurrentlypurchases10percentof the electric power in Ada from the Harvest Wind Farm in Michigan. Next year, we will double the amount of wind power we purchase from that wind farm.

ReDuCInG WateR COnSuMPtIOn Water is fast becoming the most important resource on our planet. As a caring corporate citizen, Amway is responding to this problem by setting a goal to reduce our water consumption by 10 percent by 2014.

Meeting this goal required us to implement new strategies like re-engineering the purified water system in the liquids plant to incorporate UV as a microbiological control system, replacing the continuous heating and cooling loop that was used to service the system. This upgrade saves more than $400,000 a year in steam and chilled water costs, reducing our electricity and natural gas use.

ReCYCLInG = ReDuCInG WaSteOur environmental Health and Safety team is always looking for ways to recycle more material from our waste streams. We have set new standards for recycling construction waste generated by contractors as they renovate our buildings. A recycling program is rolling out to our office areas to capture paper, plastic and metal waste formerly sent to landfills. We have discouraged the use of Amway-supplied bottled water and installed new drinking fountains with eSpring filtered water dispensers. each unit has a counter so employees can see how many bottles they have helped eliminate.

In 2009, Amway made a long-term commitment to purchase nine million kilowatt hours of wind power annually from the Harvest Wind Farm located in Michigan. In 2012, we decided to double the amount of non-grid wind power purchased for Amway World Headquarters in Ada, Michigan. Doing so increases our commitment to 18 million kilowatt hours of wind power in 2013 – and enables Amway to meet our goal of 15 percent renewable power by 2014.

As part of our strategic planning efforts, Amway leaders implemented a new Strategic Operating Model. Under the old model, Amway made all products in the United States and shipped them to markets around the world. A key piece of the new strategy is to make heavy and bulky products closer to the markets in which they are consumed. Changes implemented to date include:

•Europeanhomecareproductsarenowbeing made at a contract manufacturer in Belgium. These products are sold in every european country, from the UK to russia. This significantly shortens the transportation needed to get these heavy products to market while reducing the time needed to supply product by reducing time on the water. This change reduced the transportation carbon footprint for these products by more than 70 percent.

•Asianhomecareproductsarenowbeing made in China at our Guangzhou manufacturing site. These products are shipped to the following Asian markets: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Singapore. This change reduced the transportation carbon footprint for these products by more than 80 percent.

•AlleSpringwatertreatmentsystemsandAtmosphere units are now assembled in Malaysia. These changes resulted in a carbon footprint reduction of 67 percent for these products.

Despite our many sustainability successes in formulas, operations and facilities, we continually seek additional tools to further our sustainability goals. life Cycle Assessment methodology answers that call.

In 2009, we conducted life Cycle Assessments (lCAs) on two Amway in-home water purifiers. The exercise verified and quantified the reduction in the environmental impacts first identified by the redesign team and went further to identify and quantify environmental impacts associated with the full life cycle of the units – from raw materials to product end of life management. Using the GaBi Software lCA tool from Pe International, we performed lCA in accordance with the ISO 14040 (principles and framework) and ISO 14044 (requirements and guidelines). Doing so enabled us to reduce the product’s plastic content by 51 percent, its global warming potential by 46 percent and its energy use by 46 percent. Our work was recognized by the Society of Plastics engineers with the 2010 GPeC Design for Sustainability Award and was critical to deepening our knowledge and use of lCA at Amway.

This past year, we again used lCA to assess sustainable improvements on a redesigned major product line: NUTrIlITe® All Plant Protein Powder. Prior to the redesign, NUTrIlITe® All Protein Powder had contained 25 percent whey protein, derived from dairy. The new formula included a blend of wheat, pea and soy protein, eliminating dairy. Packaging was converted from a foil-lined cardboard, spiral wound can with tin-plated steel ends to a blow-molded high density polyethylene (HDPe) bottle with a polypropylene lid. We performed an lCA on the new HDPe package and determined it had a smaller global warming potential, as it was more recyclable in post-consumer recycling programs than the spiral-wound can, whose foil layer negates recyclability. Further, the spiral wound can had to be purchased, shipped empty and filled later after storage. The new supply chain eliminated shipping empty containers, allowing resin to be shipped by rail directly to the facility to be molded and filled as needed – a more streamlined supply chain that eliminated shipping empty containers and replaced trucking with rail transport, producing fewer greenhouse gases.

Converting to a plant-based formula, combined with environmentally friendly packaging and supply chain improvements, led to a reduction in the Amway global footprint equivalent to eliminating the emissions of 174,337 gallons of gasoline consumed.

SuSTAINABILITY: fuLL-CYCLE PROduCT dESIGN

2012 Amway Global Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Nutrilite combines the best of nature with the best of science – and always with the highest respect for the planet. To ensure that every natural ingredient in NUTrIlITe supplements is grown and harvested consistent with our values, we developed a distinctive quality standard: NutriCert.

The NutriCert process mandates farmers, growers and wild crafters to pass a rigorous audit that looks at environmental diversity, ecological balance, freedom from contamination, source traceability and the social environment. Only then can they become a certified Nutrilite partner.

NutriCert caused us to reformulate some of our supplements, including NUTrIlITe Cal Mag D Plus. We began by searching for a natural source of calcium. Our research led us to a calcium-rich resource in the vast fjords around the coast of Iceland: calcified seaweed. This sea plant is known as coralline red algae, although it actually looks purple, due to the pigments in filaments that are encrusted in calcium. In rough ocean currents, bits of this material – calcified seaweed – break off and accumulate in maerl beds. To harvest the calcium, we send a ship to the fjords off the coast of Bildudalur, a community of 150 that depends on this operation for work. employing advanced technology and GPS systems, they make sure to harvest only calcified remains, leaving living plants untouched and unharmed. The entire process was audited to ensure that it met the strict NutriCert standard.

Following each harvest, the calcified seaweed is dried, shipped to Ireland and then to england for grinding, filtering and granulation. Finally, it is transported to Nutrilite manufacturing facilities in California to be made into tablets. It’s a journey that maintains the Amway standard of quality every leg of the way.
