DSA Board of Directors Approves Membership Application for Two Companies

Washington, D.C. (September 29, 2015)—The Board of Directors of the Direct Selling Association recently approved the membership application of two direct selling companies. The companies are:

•Jade and Jasper
•Young Living

Each of these companies completed the minimum one-year pending period required for full membership in the association. During this time, the company’s marketing and business plan were reviewed to ensure compliance with all provisions of DSA’s Code of Ethics.

“The members of the Direct Selling Association pride themselves in their commitment to the highest standards in business ethics,” said DSA’s President Joseph Mariano. “By applying for membership in the association and going through a rigorous approval process, these companies are demonstrating that they take their ethical obligations to their field salesforce and to the ultimate customer seriously and are willing to make a public pledge to that effect.”

DSA’s Code of Ethics gives the direct selling industry one of the strongest self-regulatory codes in business today. All member companies are not only required to comply with the Code to be admitted to the association, but must also continue to uphold and promote the Code as a condition of continuing membership in the association. DSA’s Code is enforced by an independent code administrator who investigates and prescribes remedies in response to salesforce and consumer complaints against member companies.

The Code itself includes provisions requiring truthful disclosure of product information regarding price, grade, quality, quantity and availability. The Code expressly prohibits pyramid schemes, deceptive or unlawful consumer or recruiting practices, misrepresentation of earning or sales potential, inventory loading and unreasonable entrance fees.
