President and CEO Steve Tew announced that the company has received accreditation by the Better Business Bureau® (BBB). The BBB exists to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust by setting standards for ethical business practices, denouncing substandard marketplace behavior, and celebrating role models. “4Life has always enjoyed an A+ rating from the BBB,” said Tew, “but only recently did we decide to go through the formal process of accreditation. Now, 4Life distributors can share this hallmark of credibility with their customers.” As stated on the Better Business Bureau website: BBB Accreditation is an honor—and not every company is eligible. Businesses that meet our high standards are invited to join BBB. Businesses meeting BBB standards are presented to local Boards of Directors (or designees) for review and acceptance as a BBB Accredited Business.
