Global Wellness Leader Achieves Renewable Energy Goal Ahead of Schedule and Slashes Emissions by 42%

Nature’s Sunshine Products (Nasdaq: NATR) recently announced a major milestone in its sustainability roadmap. The company’s primary US manufacturing facility has successfully converted to 100% solar energy. This transition fulfills a core promise from its inaugural ESG report and puts the company ahead of its original 2023 deadline.

Slashing Greenhouse Gas Emissions The move to solar is more than a symbolic gesture; it is a significant step toward meeting the company’s aggressive climate targets. By converting its manufacturing operations to renewable sources, Nature’s Sunshine has achieved:

• Immediate Carbon Reduction: A 42% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions at the facility.
• Progress Toward 2025 Goals: The company remains on track to reduce total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2025.

Sustainable Manufacturing and Circularity CEO Terrence Moorehead emphasized that this transition is part of a broader mission to become “the supplement company of the future.” Beyond solar power, Nature’s Sunshine is working toward several key environmental milestones:

• Zero Waste to Landfill: A 2025 target for all US distribution centers.
• Waste Reduction: A planned 35% reduction in total waste at manufacturing facilities.
• Supply Chain Accountability: Ensuring sustainable business practices are followed at every step of the global supply chain.

“Transitioning our manufacturing facility to renewable energy one year ahead of our goal is a major milestone,” said Moorehead. “We are committed to engaging in sustainable practices at every step.”
