LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global nutrition company Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), announced today its sponsorship of the 2015 Global Wellness Summit (GWS), an international organization that brings together leaders and visionaries to positively impact and shape the future of the global wellness industry.
This year’s invitation-only Global Wellness Summit was held in Mexico City over the weekend and included approximately 450 health and wellness leaders from around the world. GWS’ vision of “Joining Together, Shaping the Future” of the wellness industry through interactive discussions and panel presentations was a natural fit for Herbalife, whose mission is to change people’s lives through good nutrition.
“Herbalife is committed to partnering with leaders like those attending the Global Wellness Summit as we work together to identify ways to improve access to good nutrition,” said Jesus Alvarez, Vice President and General Manager, Herbalife, Mexico.
The Global Wellness Summit began in the 2000's, when a group of industry leaders decided to create and fund a conference modeled in part after the successful format of the not-for-profit World Economic Forum held each year in Davos, Switzerland, where global leaders gather to solve shared problems.
