In 2025, Herbalife Vietnam marks its 16th year in the country—a journey defined not only by business growth but also by an enduring commitment to improving community health and well-being. Besides offering science-based products and economic empowerment opportunities; the premier health and wellness company has devoted consistent effort to uplifting vulnerable communities, promoting healthy living, and fostering compassion through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Vu Van Thang, general manager for Herbalife Vietnam and Cambodia. “Together with our Independent Members and employees, we aim to sustain and expand the community initiatives that help more people live better lives through proper nutrition and active lifestyles.”
Nourishing lives through Casa Herbalife
At the heart of Herbalife’s community efforts is the Casa Herbalife Vietnam Program, launched in 2013 as part of the Herbalife Family Foundation’s global initiative. The program provides nutritional support and education for underprivileged children and adults across Vietnam. Over the past 12 years, fifteen Casa Herbalife centers have served as safe havens for thousands of individuals in need, supplying daily nutritious meals and wellness education.
Herbalife Vietnam has contributed more than US$1.25 million (nearly VND32 billion) to the program, and in the 2025–2026 period, it will allocate an additional US$254,000 (VND6.5 billion) to sustain operations at all 15 centers nationwide. These range from orphanages and special-needs schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to social protection centers in Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Hue and other cities and provinces.
Yet, Casa Herbalife’s impact goes beyond funding. Herbalife employees and Independent Members regularly volunteer their time at these centers, bringing joy to children during Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and other occasions. For many, these visits are moments of warmth and shared humanity—proof that proper nutrition, when combined with compassion, can transform lives.
Extending a hand in times of crisis
In a country frequently affected by natural disasters, Herbalife Vietnam has become a trusted partner in emergency relief. Following severe storms and floods triggered by storms Bualoi and Matmo this year, the company donated over VND3.2 billion to the Vietnam Fatherland Front to aid affected communities, with VND574 million raised directly by Herbalife’s Independent Members and employees.
In 2024, Herbalife provided another VND2.8 billion in relief aid to victims of Typhoon Yagi in northern Vietnam. Such swift and generous responses reflect a deep empathy rooted in Vietnamese tradition—“lá lành đùm lá rách,” or “the healthy leaf covers the torn one.”
Beyond financial aid, the company also supports life-saving initiatives. Its annual Voluntary Blood Donation Day, held in partnership with national blood centers, has become a symbol of shared responsibility and compassion. The 2025 event, now in its eighth year, collected 286 blood units from Herbalife employees, members, and families in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Inspiring healthier communities
Herbalife Vietnam also champions preventive health and lifestyle education through creative public campaigns. In partnership with Life and Health newspaper under the Ministry of Health, the company has organized the “Better Me” Contest for four consecutive years. Through engaging challenges that blend fitness, nutrition, and mental well-being, participants are encouraged to embrace healthier, more active lifestyles.
The company’s Vietnam Community Nutrition Day 2025 drew thousands of participants in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, including locals and tourists. The event offered interactive sessions on nutrition, wellness, and exercise—showcasing that staying healthy can be both educational and fun.
Complementing these efforts, Herbalife continues to support Tuoi Tre newspaper’s “Spreading Positive Energy” Contest, which celebrates uplifting stories that inspire optimism and kindness. By promoting such messages, the company reinforces its belief that mental well-being and positive thinking are essential pillars of health.
Fueling sports and active living
Since 2012, Herbalife Vietnam has played an integral role in supporting Vietnam’s athletes as the official nutrition sponsor for the Vietnam Olympic Committee and Paralympic Association, and more recently, the Vietnam Football Federation. The company provides nutritional products, training programs, and performance incentives to help athletes compete at their best.
In 2025, Herbalife took another bold step by co-organizing the National Community Exercise Day Program with the Vietnam Olympic Committee. Through 20 public events in 17 provinces, the program encourages citizens to incorporate daily exercise and balanced nutrition into their lives.
Herbalife’s presence also extends to Vietnam’s major marathon events—including the VnExpress Marathon, Tien Phong Marathon, and the Vietnam International Half Marathon—where the company energizes thousands of runners with professional nutrition guidance and on-site support.
Recognizing a legacy of impact
Herbalife Vietnam’s dedication to community health and sustainability has earned wide recognition. The company has received the AmCham CSR Award for seven consecutive years, underscoring its strong commitment to long-term social responsibility. It has also been named among the Top 10 Most Reputable Food Companies by Vietnam Report, and its products have received the Golden Product Award for Public Health 10 times in a row.
In 2025, Herbalife Vietnam was honored as one of the Top 10 Famous Trademarks in Vietnam by the Vietnam Intellectual Property Association—an acknowledgment of its outstanding reputation, consistent product quality, and community-centered vision.
A future built on care
After sixteen years, Herbalife Vietnam’s impact reaches far beyond nutrition—it represents a philosophy of wellness rooted in empathy, science, and social progress. From nourishing underprivileged children to empowering athletes and inspiring positive change, the company’s actions consistently echo its belief that good health is the foundation of a thriving society.
Herbalife’s story in Vietnam is a testament to what can happen when business success aligns with social purpose—when every act of giving becomes a building block for a stronger, more caring community.
