3/15/22 - Amway Is Suspending Operations In Russia

Amway says they will suspend importing products to Russia.

Amway announced Monday that they are suspending operations in Russia. 

They also will donate a number of items to those in need in the country of Ukraine.

According to a release:

Amway is powered by people – especially the inspiring, entrepreneurial and caring employees and Amway Business Owners (ABOs) who live our values every day across the world.

Seeing the global Amway family step forward and care for those who have left Ukraine in search of safety and shelter, and those who have stayed behind, has once again shown the heart of Amway and the strength of the bonds we share. Our team members who remain in Ukraine are also donating our healthy food and beverage products, personal care items, and dietary supplements to people in harm’s way, and to local hospitals and charities.

The reality of our business is that we have friends, colleagues and Amway Business Owners in both countries who have worked together for years in harmony with a common purpose. However, the continuing war, along with the global legal and operational environment, makes it impossible to continue business as we have been in Russia, and so we are announcing the immediate suspension of product imports and will be pausing other operations as well.

Hope – along with Freedom, Family and Reward – is one of our four Founders’ Fundamentals. We have upheld these ideals for more than 60 years, including through very challenging times in different parts of the world. It is our sincere hope that peace will prevail, and that we can return to fully supporting operations and opportunity for all who are a part of the Amway family.
