Herbalife Nutrition Extends COVID-19 Relief Efforts in Asia Pacific
HONG KONG, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Premier global nutrition company Herbalife Nutrition, and its non-profit 
corporation Herbalife Nutrition Foundation, have jointly pledged US$1.79 
million worth of aid in support of COVID-19 relief efforts, as part of their 
commitment to supporting the global community through uncertain times. This 
contribution includes cash and in-kind donations that will go into supporting 
essential relief across seven Asia Pacific countries -- Indonesia, Japan, 
Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. 

"As a global nutrition company, Herbalife Nutrition has a unique opportunity 
and responsibility to help those in need in these uncertain times. Beyond 
drawing upon our corporate resources and nutritional expertise, we are also 
working in partnership with our employees, as well as our distributors  and 
external  organisations on the ground to help people in our local communities 
adapt and deal with the challenges that they are facing in this COVID-19 
pandemic," said Stephen Conchie, senior vice president and managing director, 
Asia Pacific, Herbalife Nutrition.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt the lives of millions in Asia 
Pacific, this has resulted in medical resources being stretched, and families 
being more susceptible to hunger and food insecurity. To help address some of 
these issues, Herbalife Nutrition's contribution will go into providing the 
necessary medical and nutrition supplies in partnership with local non-profit 
organisations in the region. These include:

-Provision of medical supplies such as protective gear and test kits to 
hospitals; 

-Provision of nutrition products such as Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1 Shake 
and Protein Bar to healthcare workers who are working round the clock to care 
for the influx of COVID-19 patients; 

-Provision of personal hygiene products such as face masks, hand sanitizers, 
hand soap and mouthwash to needy children through Herbalife Nutrition 
Foundation's Casa Herbalife Program; 

-Provision of cash funds to support relief efforts through local organisations 
such as the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee.

At the same time, Herbalife Nutrition's distributors in Asia Pacific have taken 
initiative to provide medical, food and nutrition support for their respective 
local communities. Herbalife Nutrition's distributors have since donated over 
45,000 face masks, 12,000 sets of protective clothing and Herbalife Nutrition 
Formula 1 Shake to their local hospitals, as well as provided food and grocery 
packs to needy families in their communities.
