CNDSN December 30th news (economic information daily) a Multi-National Corporation wants to play all over the world, to find a fastest "localization" path, Herbalife (Chinese) health care products Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Herbalife") is no exception.

For this purpose, several times raise Chinese herbalife. In 2010, it put his first global raw material production base settled in Changsha, directly stimulating the local agricultural product processing industry output value of more than one billion yuan; almost at the same time, its chief science officer Steve Henig said, speed up the launch of containing Chinese herbal products, set up R & D center in Chinese has also been put on the agenda.

In addition, Herbalife in another field for the localization of paving. In September 5, 2013, the Song Qingling foundation and Chinese Herbalife sponsored "angel hear love" charity project special fund. Prior to this, "Herbalife home" and other public welfare projects have been carried out for many years in the Chinese.

Public interest, is to achieve localization in Chinese Herbalife is important one annulus.

From the coincidence of "angel hear love"

The 5 year old girl small pure (a pseudonym) is "angel hear love" the first capital contribution of the cochlear implant operation of children. In 2010 June, she underwent operation in Xiamen to become a small volunteer in Shanghai world expo.

Canbo vision is a focus on nutrition and weight management enterprise, chose a and enterprise products completely unrelated commonweal project, from a coincidence. In 2009 June, Herbalife Chinese area president Li Yanliang participated in the Xiamen conference when first exposed to the hearing handicapped children. Soon after, Herbalife organized a charity gala, will the check for $120000 donation to the Xiamen red cross.

According to the 2006 national second national sample survey on disability statistics show, at that time Chinese aural disabled people reached 20040000, of which 7 years of age the deaf children up to 800000 people and an annual increase of 30000 deaf children growth.

From the beginning of 2009, the central government invested 2000000000 yuan special funds, the implementation of the "poverty deaf children with cochlear emergency rehabilitation project", plans to 2015 to more than 1.6 deaf children with cochlear implants, free of charge, and provide postoperative rehabilitation training funds.

Before 2011, Herbalife is scattered for poverty deaf Kang Fufu funding. Until September 5th of that year, Herbalife and China Song Qingling foundation co sponsored the "mother and child safe - Angel bailout -- Angel hear love" public welfare activities, the project began to steadily. Up to now, Herbalife has exceeded 13000000 yuan for the project contributions, helped more than 40 economic difficulty severe deaf cochlear implant surgery.

Public welfare projects closer to the distance and dealers

"You must use from the bottom of my heart towards love and influence others." This is Herbalife founder Mark Hughes's charitable tradition.

In the United States, charitable enterprise congenital factors, such as iron and steel magnate Andrew Carnegie said "the people die rich, die disgraced". Of course, more thanks to the perfect legislation and tax system, which guarantee the companies in the United States for the public to pay, will be protected by law and tax preferential treatment.

It looks at the social responsibility of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, director of the center Zhong Hongwu enterprise, American enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities, often put the public into the overall strategy.

As a foreign company with the United States DNA, from the beginning of the establishment, Herbalife (China) has been considered as an important strategy to public company. According to Li Yanliang introduction, Herbalife compilation of annual development plan, will the public welfare projects included in the. "If an enterprise take-off needs two wings, so only the sales performance, it can make the enterprise to fly higher; and the other one is the public interest, it can make the enterprise to fly farther and more accurate direction".

For example, in the operation of the "angel hear love", Herbalife is clear, the choice of this project means not only money, but also take up much of the subsequent work. To solve the problem because it and the other a donation can be compared to a disease, the first step in cochlear implant surgery just help the hearing disabled children, then can ensure the rehabilitation work effectively is the key, otherwise the entire rescue lost meaning.

Data show that 2013 Herbalife global net sales of $4800000000, a year-on-year growth of 18%. After the adjustment of the annual net profit of $577400000, a growth of 24% compared to the same period. In fiscal year 2013, the total sales of the year Herbalife China (including tax) reached 4000000000 yuan, a year-on-year growth of 60% above, be worthy of the name of the powerful Herbalife global growth engine. 2014 also has a new breakthrough. This transcript, cannot be ignored from the public brand points. Li Yanliang admitted to corporate social responsibility based on profit, but do not agree to do public service is just a show.

According to Li Yanliang introduced, in Herbalife own shopping website, through the network of donor channels, within two months of "angel hear love" project to attract donations 280000 yuan, on public investment will continue to increase in the future, will also call for more distributors and employees to participate in. "The enterprise conscience and sense of responsibility is the most can move the dealer, public welfare projects closer to our dealers and distance."

Late do not do the early

2011 is the Herbalife began in China into origin system operation of public projects, and in the operation of public project early, will inevitably encounter some problems.

At that time, a crisis of confidence in the public transparency China. Responsible for working with Chinese Song Qingling foundation "angel hear love" project staff, in the process of communicating with headquarters encountered questioned, Americans think at this time of China public ring with a serious risk, and the public welfare donation Herbalife mostly from marketers and distributors, so the requirements in the operation of the project must be careful.

Communication was pofeizhouzhe lasted more than a month, to get America aspects of recognition, Li Yanliang supported the project and promote, and ultimately help America headquarters decided to. "The practice of public interest is a foreign enterprise must fulfill their social responsibility, do not do the early late." Li Yanliang said.

In the specific operation of public projects, Herbalife has established "to public with the business development, starting from the strategic point of the idea of".

Herbalife and song foundation of cooperation, in order to obtain the best effect of the strategy is to. Herbalife and song foundation cooperation identified "Song Jihui guidance in initially, the two sides together consultation" model, but in the specific project operation, Herbalife to undertake more work. Relevant staff Herbalife commonweal project said: "enterprise operation project has a natural advantage, the performance of the project, process to control more strictly."

The source said, in the establishment of "process Chinese Herbalife home" had a "very grinding" experience.

Global Herbalife home were located by the America headquarters "the Herbalife family foundation" unified management, the foundation funds mainly come from the dealer, in order to meet the America "anti bribery law" and other laws and regulations, the establishment of "Herbalife family" living in the country when the need to provide detailed reporting of information, especially the financial transparent. Therefore, Herbalife Family Foundation public welfare organization and cooperation to provide detailed financial data. But in the process of China, issued a public welfare organization of these data is very complex. Have to admit, some "China public circle" habits and approval procedures, and requirements of foreign company headquarters, in the process of connection did exist some not smooth. But the Herbalife still overcome difficulties, not afraid of trouble will everything be the best.

In "angel hear love" activities at the scene, Li Yanliang promised, in helping the deaf cochlear implants, will also help the deaf children rehabilitation training after operation. "Herbalife think, true charity and public welfare, for some people it is an opportunity to change his life. Therefore, to meet the difficulties in the process of trying to crack." *
