Among other achievements in 2007, Shaklee partnered with Millennium Promise to facilitate direct emissions reductions by providing sustainable solar energy to electrify villages in Malawi, and was selected by the nation’s leading child advocacy group, Healthy Child Healthy World, as the exclusive partner for a new video titled, “Creating Healthy Environments for Children,” starring actress Amy Brenneman. In addition, Shaklee was awarded the Global Green U.S.A. Organizational Design Award for outstanding leadership in spreading the message of improving the health of the planet through its network of more than 750,000 members and distributors.
The Shaklee Get Clean Starter Kit, offering non-toxic and environmentally-friendly cleaning choices, has been given multiple “thumbs up” by Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Sales of the kit in 2007 helped eliminate more than 23 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions and prevented more than 10 million pounds of landfill waste, compared to conventional, ready-to-use, household cleaners.
For 50 years, Shaklee has been a leading provider of premium quality, natural nutrition, and personal care products, environmentally-friendly household products, and state-of-the-art air and water treatment systems.
More than 650 business leaders attended the gala. A portion of each ticket sold for the gala was contributed to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel Laureate and former Vice President, Al Gore. The Alliance seeks to halt global warming by educating people about the urgency of the climate crisis and its solutions. More than 2,600 entries were submitted for The 2008 American Business Awards. Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges and Advisors and their staffs selected Stevie winners from among the finalists. Finalists were selected by business professionals nationwide during two months of preliminary judging.
