Nu Skin Enterpriseswas honored last week with the China Charity award for the company’s commitment and dedication to helping those in need in China, especially during and after the devastating earthquake that hit the country earlier in the year.
The award, the most prestigious charity award given in the country, is given by the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs. Hu Jintao, president of the People’s Republic of China, presented the award to Andrew Fan, the President of Nu Skin’s Greater China Region. The award was presented at a special ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing China.

“This year Nu Skin’s culture of giving was demonstrated in numerous ways, particularly in China following the Sichuan earthquake and devastating snow storms,” said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer of Nu Skin Enterprises. “We applaud our Greater China staff and sales force who came together to provide quick and significant relief to those affected by disaster. Nu Skin China truly made a difference as they executed on our mission to be a force for good in the world.”

During the last year, Nu Skin donated money and supplies through their Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, in the tune of almost $5 million dollars. The donations came not only in money, but also in supplies and food needed to rebuild after the earthquake in the Sichuan Region of China. Nu Skin also jumped in to help after a series of devastating snow storms this year that compounded the devastation produced by the earthquake. The money was not only donated by the company, but also by consumers, distributors and employees of the company.

Nu Skin has put the negative press about lead in their lipstick aside for now and is celebrating two successful conventions in their Asian Region. Nearly 20,000 people attended recent conventions in Tokyo and Hong Kong where the health and skin care company announced the addition of new products to the market and celebrated the company’s 15th anniversary. The conventions also served as an opportunity to give back to the region and its people, and raise funds for victims of the devastating Sichuan earthquake.

Along with the addition of the new products, including the Lifepak Nano, Galvanic Spa and Tru Face Skin Care products, Nu Skin used the opportunity to introduce new business initiatives as well as refreshed its corporate identity.

Speaking on the success of the Tokyo convention, Nu Skin President and CEO Truman Hunt said, “The Japan management team hosted an impressive convention for distributors. The new products and brand initiatives provide good ammunition for Japanese distributors to further develop their business and successfully differentiate Nu Skin’s people, product, culture and opportunity in the market.”

The convention also served as a chance to recognize the recent tragedy in the Sichuan region of China and gave the company and its distributors a chance to participate in an aid relief campaign. Distributors and employees raised more the half a million in cash and NuSkin Force for Good Foundation contributed cash and food valued at almost a million dollars. The total for one day contributions was $1.43 million dollars.
