Herbalife
(NYSE: HLF), a leading global nutrition company, is proud to announce
its recognition as one of the leading companies recognized in LATINO
Magazine’s “LATINO 100” Spring 2014 issue, an annual listing that
spotlights companies providing the most viable business opportunities
for U.S. Latinos.
“We are incredibly honored by LATINO Magazine’s acknowledgment of
Herbalife as one of the top corporate supporters of the growing U.S.
Latino population,” said Ibi Fleming, senior vice president and managing
director, Herbalife North America. “Latinos across the country have
historically embraced Herbalife’s nutrition products since the company’s
founding in 1980. Their success is a tribute to the hard work of our
members and a clear demand among Latinos for a healthy lifestyle. We are
also proud to be acknowledged for our work in fostering and ensuring
workplace diversity in our corporate culture.”
Herbalife recognition in LATINO Magazine’s respected “LATINO 100”
list brings awareness to the company’s unique distribution platform and
business practices as well as its robust, loyal Latino membership which
comprises over half of Herbalife U.S. business. Herbalife® products are
sold by independent members, some of whom join to supplement their
income through the income opportunity available. The Company provides
numerous protections for members and consumers alike, including low
initial investment and a fully refundable average start-up cost of
$59.25, as well as an industry-leading and comprehensive product return
policy.
Most notably, the inclusion of Herbalife in the “LATINO 100” listing
recognizes the company’s commitment to and continued support of the U.S.
Latino community. In a 2013 survey of the U.S. population conducted by
Lieberman Research Worldwide and commissioned by Herbalife, 85 percent
of Latino participants rated Herbalife “Good,” “Very Good” or
“Excellent.”
“We are continually inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit, hard work
and perseverance of the Latino community and are committed to supporting
them through the Herbalife ever-expanding portfolio of nutrition
products, business tools, and training,” added Fleming.
A global nutrition company currently operating in more than 90
countries, Herbalife aims to help fight obesity and poor eating habits
