Nature's Sunshine Products (Nasdaq: NATR), a leading natural health
and wellness company of premium-quality herbal and nutritional
products, today released its Second Annual Comprehensive ESG
Report. The report highlights the progress Nature's Sunshine has
made in the past 12 months and reiterates its ongoing commitment to
sustainability in its supply chain, in manufacturing, and in
investing in its people and processes.
This year’s report demonstrates that the application of key
strategies along with the commitment of company employees who are
striving for excellence have allowed the sustainability and
transparency mindset to permeate every aspect of business.
“Nature’s Sunshine has been dedicated to nature for over 50
years,” said Terrence Moorehead, CEO, Nature's Sunshine. “We see
ourselves as leaders in protecting the planet and its people, and
our commitment to this effort is reflected in the tremendous
dedication of our people and the remarkable progress we made
throughout 2022. Sustainability and transparency will continue to
serve as guiding lights for our growth strategy.”
In 2022, Nature’s Sunshine achieved measurable progress in its
sustainability goals, including:
- Converting to 100% solar power at its Spanish Fork, Utah
manufacturing facility.
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by
35%.
- Expanding recycling efforts at its three US-based distribution
centers to reduce waste to landfill by 29%.
- Moving to more sustainable packaging by increasing use of
post-consumer recycled plastics (to nearly 40%).
- Using 100% wind to power its Poland warehouse and distribution
center.
- Conducting its second annual greenhouse gas inventory to better
understand emissions impact.
- Optimizing and reducing shipments both internationally (24%
reduction in air freights) and domestically (50% reduction in
trucks to DCs) to further decrease emissions.
“I’m very pleased with how far we have come in such a short
time,” said Vice President of Global Sustainability and
Transparency, Trent McCausland. “As we continue to apply
sustainable practices and processes in our sourcing, manufacturing
and supply chain, I’m confident that we’ll have even more great
news to share in the years to come.”
In addition to its sustainability efforts, the company also
works to maintain a positive and inclusive culture in the
workplace. Great employee experiences strengthen Nature’s
Sunshine’s team, help it channel good into the world and make an
impact. Wellness-focused programs have helped employees improve
health and well-being, have fostered contentment and have increased
collaboration.

everything we do,” said Tracee Comstock, VP of Human Resources.
