Global nutrition company Herbalife
(NYSE: HLF), announced today its sponsorship of the 2015 Global Wellness
Summit (GWS), an international organization that brings together leaders
and visionaries to positively impact and shape the future of the global
wellness industry.
This year’s invitation-only Global Wellness Summit was held in Mexico
City over the weekend and included approximately 450 health and wellness
leaders from around the world. GWS’ vision of “Joining Together, Shaping
the Future” of the wellness industry through interactive discussions and
panel presentations was a natural fit for Herbalife, whose mission is to
change people’s lives through good nutrition.
“Herbalife is committed to partnering with leaders like those attending
the Global Wellness Summit as we work together to identify ways to
improve access to good nutrition,” said Jesus Alvarez, Vice President
and General Manager, Herbalife, Mexico.
The Global Wellness Summit began in the 2000's, when a group of industry
leaders decided to create and fund a conference modeled in part after
the successful format of the not-for-profit World Economic Forum held
each year in Davos, Switzerland, where global leaders gather to solve
shared problems.
