About forty years ago, Nu Skin’s journey began with a group of friends who wanted to innovate the world of skin care and bring positive impact to others. We chose, early on, to focus our efforts on lifting the vulnerable children and have since expanded those efforts to include taking care of our planet.
The heart of Nu Skin’s business is its ongoing mission to be a Force For Food. Whether at home or abroad, we strive to lift and empower people. On one hand, we improve the lives of underprivileged children by helping them live a life free from congenital heart disease. We partner with key organizations to provide surgeries, medical research funding, health equipment, and more so that children can live healthier, more joyful lives.
Every child deserves a chance to shine. To date, Nu Skin Southeast Asia Children’s Heart Fund has helped save more than 14,000 children, from newborns to 12-year-olds, struggling with serious heart problems. Many thanks to the generous sales leaders of Southeast Asia for being a Force For Good!
On the other hand, Nu Skin is committed to keeping our global communities clean, safe, and protected for the future. It’s a daunting task, but we’re proud to make it our mission to embrace sustainable practices today to enhance a resource-rich tomorrow. By 2030, we have made the commitment to change all our packaging to be recycled, recyclable, reusable, reduced or renewable as we enhance our efforts to be more sustainable.
The Oasis CSR initiative is run through its service-learning program, which exists “to create an ever-growing community of global leaders who enact positive, sustainable change through intentional service and experiential learning.” The OIS Service-Learning Program engages students, families, and employees. OIS staff not only partner with our students, but also model what we call “critical compassion” which combines acts of service (compassion) with measurable outcomes (critical thinking).
In 2023, OIS employees have served the community in a variety of roles: we have volunteered at refugee schools, regularly partnering with The Peace Education Centre in Bukit Bintang; hosted sports and academic camps on our campus for refugee children; partnered with local environmental NGOs to host beach clean-ups, plant trees, and volunteer in a community garden; participated in book, clothing, gift, and food drives during our annual Christmas giving initiative; collaborated with health professionals to provide free health screenings for refugee children and blood donations from the OIS community; and, most recently volunteered with The Assembly Soup Kitchen to prepare food for nearby communities in need.
OIS employees venture to not only serve our community, but to model service for our next generation of global leaders.
With a reachability of 1.7 million individuals, Pfizer’s collaboration with the University for Society (U4S) on the Mental Health and Rare Disease Awareness Campaign exemplifies the profound impact unity can achieve for noble causes. This partnership stands as a living testament to the transformative power of collective action.
A remarkable output of this was the book launch – “Empowering Community Well-Being”, which is crafted to inspire sustainability programs in Malaysia and is expected to be an educational material in institutions of higher education, inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. Joining hands with the Malaysian Society of Infection Control and Infectious Disease, National Cancer Society of Malaysia, and the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, Pfizer Malaysia initiated the nationwide COVID-19 awareness campaign – MyPELINDUNG with the purpose of educating on the need to protect loved ones against COVID-19, with the dual message of prevention via vaccination and urgency of prompt treatment, charting a healthier future for Malaysians.
We have taken our services to the underserved communities through Medical Camps, touching the lives of more than 3000 individuals, who are often hindered by logistical and financial constraints, which bestowed equal access to critical healthcare services, marking a pivotal stride towards inclusivity.

Pfizer’s 26 years of CSR programs have etched an indelible mark on Malaysia’s healthcare landscape, creating a culture of care that transcends boundaries. Beyond corporate initiative, it is an odyssey of compassion and benevolence, enriching lives and communities alike
“For PMI, sustainability is more than just a means to minimize negative externalities and mitigate risks while maximizing operational efficiency and resource optimization. We see it as a fundamental opportunity for innovation, growth, and purpose-led, impact-driven, long-term value creation, as well as a way to respond to the concerns of shareholders and other stakeholders. In order to achieve this, it is paramount that our company understands ESG issues that are relevant to our business success. Managing well our company’s ESG performance can create competitive advantages, such as ensuring compliance with current and anticipated regulations, establishing a solid shareholder base, increasing stakeholder trust, improving corporate reputation and brand equity, mitigating the effects of supply chain disruptions, preserving business continuity, enhancing organizational resilience, and boosting employee morale, workforce productivity, talent attraction, and retention. To yield these potential benefits and mitigate legal, financial, and reputational risks, ESG considerations are regularly assessed, addressed, and embedded in an integral way throughout our business. As a result, at PMI, ESG is considered an input of our corporate strategy, with sustainability being the desired outcome.”
