TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR

When Amway was founded in 1959, it marketed only one product: L.O.C.™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner.
L.O.C. established our environment because only biodegradable cleaning agents were used in its formula. Its very name - Liquid Organic Cleaner (L.O.C.) - spoke to that commitment. This initial dedication to the environment has become a cornerstone in the Amway corporate philosophy.

	Amost five decades later, our environmental concerns continue to be reflected in our products and philosophies.
Whether responding to changing consumer demands or reacting to new scientific findings. Amway has stayed on the leading edge of positive environmental practices.

Amway has one of the longest and most consistent records in producing concentrated cleaning products. Concentrated products are only now being recognized in the industry for their environmental benefits - but Amway took this important step to limit any adverse environmental impact years ago.

While our commitment to sustainable environmental practices began with our household products, it does not end there. Our Nutrilite™ farms are a testament to our respect for the environment. Nutrilite is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest and process plants on its own certified organic farms.

With distribution in more than 80 countries and territories, we recognize our responsibility to produce environmentally-sensitive products that can be used throughout the world.

Environmental stewardship

At Amway, we believe that the proper use and management of the earth's resources are the responsibilities of industry and individuals alike. After all, alone we can do so little - together, we can do so much. We recognize our responsibility and role in promoting environmental stewardship and protecting the health and safety of our people and the communities where we operate.

To that end, we are committed to:

•		Maintain compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and other requirements to which the corporation subscribes.
•		Continually improving our environmental health and safety performance.
•		Reducing the impact of our operations on the environment by conserving resources through reuse and recycling, avoiding pollution, eliminating hazards, and using energy responsibly.
•		Training and motivating our employees to take personal accountability for protecting the environment and creating a safe and healthy workplace.
•		Measuring the progress of our environmental health and safety programs through periodic assessments and audits.

Our environmental policies are more than just words on paper. They are substantiated through third-party verification and recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
