Sunrider® Wins DSA 2025 Excellence in Business Award for Innovative Compliance Training
Sunrider International is proud to announce it has been named 2025 Excellence in Business Award Winner by the Direct Selling Association (DSA) for its groundbreaking compliance training program: Chen Grandkids on Compliance.
The award recognizes companies that set a benchmark for excellence and integrity in direct selling, showcasing innovative, creative programs that uphold best practices, safeguard consumer trust, ensure compliance, and drive sustainable growth. Announced September 16, 2025, in Washington, D.C., the DSA Awards honored companies across the direct selling industry for their commitment to innovation, creativity, and ethical business practices.
“These winners represent the gold standard of direct selling,”
said Dave Grimaldi, President and CEO of DSA.
“Their work demonstrates how businesses can achieve growth while operating with transparency, innovation, and a deep respect for customers and independent sellers. These programs set a model for others in the channel.”
Compliance, Reimagined: Training That Connects, Captivates, and Clicks.
Traditionally, compliance training has been viewed as dry and daunting. Sunrider set out to change that. At their 2024 Grand Convention, the company launched Chen Grandkids on Compliance, a kid-led video series featuring the grandchildren of Sunrider founders Dr. Tei-Fu Chen and Dr. Oi-Lin Chen.
The series turns complex compliance topics—such as income claims, product claims, and ethical selling—into candid, accessible conversations that are simple, engaging, and memorable. The unscripted videos flip the script on traditional training by infusing humor, heart, and authenticity—sparking laughter, learning, and lasting engagement across Sunrider’s global community of Independent Business Owners (IBOs).
“By involving our youngest family members in the conversation, we’ve created something that resonates across cultures and generations,”
said Sunny Beutler, CEO of Sunrider International.
“This recognition from the DSA affirms that creative risks can drive real business impact—and build stronger, more informed communities of our IBOs.”
As part of a first-of-its-kind celebration, the DSA will travel to Sunrider’s headquarters this fall to honor the teams behind this achievement in person.
