HONG
KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 3 November 2020 - Herbalife Nutrition (NYSE:HLF), a
premier global nutrition company, is commemorating the first year of its Nutrition
for Zero Hunger initiative.
Nutrition for Zero Hunger is a global program that is aligned with the second United
Nation's Sustainable Development Goal, which seeks to end hunger in all its forms by
2030 and to achieve food security and improved nutrition.
Globally, more than 2 billion people
worldwide do not have access to enough, nutritious food. The global population
continues to grow, with the need for food expected to increase accordingly. Through the Nutrition for Zero Hunger
initiative, Herbalife Nutrition is working with partners to provide resources,
meals and education to help feed those in need.
In
support of Herbalife Nutrition nonprofit partners' critical programs and
education campaigns, Nutrition for Zero Hunger to date has:
- Made
available nearly 700,000 nutritious meals to children and families.
- Delivered
more than 500,000 servings of donated products and 3,500 pounds of food to
families in need
- Provided
47,000 women with breastfeeding and nutrition education for healthy child
development
- Provided
40,000 children with essential dietary supplements to reduce nutrient
deficiency and support healthy child development
"Herbalife
Nutrition's Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative has been helpful in
alleviating hunger, but we have a long way to go in building a world where
everyone has access to quality food," said Alan Hoffman, Executive Vice
President, Global Corporate Affairs, Herbalife Nutrition. "Eradicating hunger
will take the combined efforts of governments, non-profits and corporations
working together and we will continue working with all interested parties to
ensure everyone has access to nutrition."
The
global pandemic is fueling food insecurity and according to a recent report
from the United Nations, an additional 132 million people are likely to face food insecurity by the end
of 2020. Now more than ever, there is an urgent need to provide at-risk
populations with access to healthy, nutritious food.
In
its first year, the initiative announced partnerships with global nonprofit
partners who are recognized for their impact in addressing world hunger,
including Feed the Children, The Hunger Project, Chrysalis, National Hispanic
Council on Aging and the Chinese Red Cross Foundation. Through these
partnerships, Herbalife Nutrition is working to help take hunger to zero by providing good nutrition and
educational resources to communities in need.
