Amway (ru)

Results of the All-Russia competition "Corporate Social Responsibility Research 2008" were summed up in November 2009. The contest was organized and conducted by the Donors Forum, newspaper "Vedomosti" and PriceWaterhouseCoopers. At this competition Amway presented its joint project with UNICEF called "Child’s Smile". The project is dedicated to opening of play and sensory rooms in the children's medical and social institutions throughout Russia. We are very proud that Amway was listed in the shortlist of winners in nomination "Best program to foster a culture of philanthropy in the society". This nomination was established by the Public Chamber’s Commission on the Development of Philanthropy and Improvement of Legislation on NGOs. Among all CSR projects, submitted by 16 companies for this nomination, the jury selected the best three programs, including Amway’s "Child’s Smile".

More than 60 leading Russian companies, among them Lukoil, Severstal, Russky Standard, and representative offices of foreign corporations (Mercedes-Benz Russia, Reiffeisen Bank, Procter & Gamble, Intel, Dirol Cadbury etc.) participated in the research. 40 of them were included in the ranking.

The ranking of corporate philanthropy has been compiled on the basis of quantitative data on the budgets of CSR programs and qualitative data on strategies and approaches the companies apply while implementing their CSR projects. Among 40 companies that participated in the ranking, Amway took the 15^th position.

 Information on the outcome of the contest and award ceremony will be published in the newspaper "Vedomosti" on November, 30, 2009.

It is worth mentioning that in 2008 Amway presented its joint project with UNICEF called "Inclusive Education" at All-Russian competition "Corporate Donor of Russia" and won in the nomination "Best program which creates a favorable environment for life and work of people with disabilities". This nomination was established by the UN Office in Russia.
