    WHERE IT ALL BEGANThe Amway story begins with two riends in west Michigan who wanted

    a better lie or their amilies. Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos launched their

    business in 1959 with Liquid Organic Cleaner (L.O.C.). Today, we have a presence

    in more than 80 countries and territories, but we are still rooted in Ada, Michigan,

    and in what Rich and Jay discovered more than 50 years ago people and

    relationships are the core o this business.

    These ethical and operational standards guide both the company and its

    Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in all activities past, present, and uture.

    Amway will:

    Support the undamental reedom o people to

    determine their own uture.

    Allow the time and resources to protect and

    nurture amily.

    Oer hope to individuals.

    Present the opportunity to receive reward in

    proportion to individual eorts.

    This business opportunity was ounded on principles that are carved

    in stone in ront o the Amway World Headquarters in Ada, Michigan:

    Freedom, Family, Hope, and Reward.

    A business opportunity for a better life.

    The legacy o our ounders

    Jay Van Andel (above let) and

    Rich DeVos (above right) continues

    through the leadership o their sons,

    Steve Van Andel, chairman (inset

    let), and Doug DeVos, president
