At Nature’s Sunshine, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s a daily practice rooted in over 50 years of honoring the Earth’s natural gifts. From solar-powered facilities to ethical ingredient sourcing, the brand is redefining what it means to be a wellness company with purpose.
Everyday Sustainability in Action
Sustainability touches every part of the business—from product development to packaging and manufacturing. In 2022, the company shifted its U.S. manufacturing facility to 100% renewable solar energy. Its European distribution center runs on wind power. These efforts have already cut greenhouse gas emissions by 47%, with a goal of hitting 50% by 2025.
Recycling also plays a major role: the U.S. distribution centers earned TRUE Zero Waste Gold certification, diverting over 85% of waste from landfills.
Ethical Ingredient Sourcing
Nature’s Sunshine has built long-standing partnerships with farmers, wildcrafters, and harvesters across the globe. One standout example is the yerba mate used in the brand’s Brain Edge supplement, sourced from indigenous farmers in the Brazilian rainforest. These relationships help preserve ecosystems and support local communities.
