According to this year's report, the company's sustainability and transparency mindset has infused every aspect of its business, thanks to the implementation of key strategies and the dedication of its employees to strive for excellence.

Nature's Sunshine made significant progress towards achieving its sustainability objectives in 2022. These accomplishments include converting its manufacturing facility in Spanish Fork, Utah, to run entirely on solar power, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 35% across Scopes 1 and 2, improving recycling efforts at its three US-based distribution centres, leading to a 29% reduction in waste sent to landfills, increasing its use of post-consumer recycled plastics in packaging to almost 40%, and utilising 100% wind energy to power its warehouse and distribution centre in Poland.

In addition, the company conducted its second annual greenhouse gas inventory to gain a better understanding of its emissions impact and optimised shipments internationally and domestically to decrease emissions further, reducing air freight by 24% and trucks to DCs by 50%.
