Nu Skin Report Details Vast Social Impact and Green Supply Chain Goals

PROVO, UT – December 30, 2025 – Global beauty and wellness company Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE: NUS) has released its 2024 Social Impact and Sustainability Report, providing a detailed look into its extensive philanthropic work and significant progress on environmental initiatives. The report quantifies the company’s efforts to balance its commercial operations with a deep-seated commitment to global giving and planetary health, highlighting a strategy that intertwines corporate responsibility with its core business model.

Marking its 40th year, the company framed the report as a continuation of a long-standing mission. “Nu Skin has always been guided by a powerful purpose – to empower people to look, feel and live better,” said Ryan Napierski, Nu Skin president and CEO, in the company's official announcement. “That mission was a core to Nu Skin in its early days, and it remains a central part 40 years later. We’re proud of the strides we’ve made... We remain focused on driving meaningful change, uplifting communities and protecting our planet for future generations.”

A Two-Pronged Approach to Global Giving

The report showcases a humanitarian effort of immense scale, driven by two distinct but related entities: the non-profit Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation and the company’s Nourish the Children initiative. Together, these programs contributed to over $4.6 million in global donations in the past year for causes supporting children and conservation.

The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation, described as the “heart of the company’s mission,” has operated for over a quarter-century. Its impact is most profoundly felt through its children's heart funds in Greater China and Southeast Asia. In 2024 alone, these funds facilitated more than 1,400 life-saving heart surgeries for children, bringing the total number of procedures performed since 1999 to an astonishing 32,000. Beyond direct medical aid, the foundation also partners with organizations like Seacology to fund the preservation of over 1.4 million acres of vital natural habitats.

Operating alongside the foundation is the Nourish the Children initiative, which has achieved a staggering milestone of over 850 million meals purchased and donated to malnourished children since its inception in 2002. In the last year, the program provided more than 30 million meals. Nu Skin is transparent about the program’s structure, registering it as a “commercial co-venture” in some states. This model allows the company’s global network of brand affiliates and customers to purchase bags of a nutrient-dense food called VitaMeal from Nu Skin, which are then donated through third-party charitable organizations. The company discloses that the price includes manufacturing, overhead, distribution, and sales costs, and that, like its other products, it earns a profit margin and pays sales commissions on VitaMeal purchases. This unique for-profit philanthropic model leverages the company's direct-selling infrastructure to create a massive and sustainable channel for food aid distribution.

Greening the Supply Chain and the Shelf

Parallel to its social impact, Nu Skin’s report details concrete advancements in its environmental sustainability goals, focusing on responsible sourcing and a transition to a circular economy for its packaging. The company is actively working towards its ambitious 2030 commitment to make all product packaging recycled, recyclable, reusable, reduced, or renewable.

Tangible progress in 2024 included a reduction of 8.5 tons of plastic and 1.4 tons of paper from its packaging and operations. Furthermore, the company incorporated more than 24 tons of recycled plastic and 3.6 tons of biobased, renewable plastic into its product lines, signaling a clear shift away from virgin, fossil-fuel-based materials. These incremental changes are critical steps in reducing the beauty industry's notoriously large environmental footprint.

A significant milestone highlighted in the report is the achievement of 100% Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) sourcing for all palm and palm-derived ingredients used in its personal care products. Palm oil is a ubiquitous ingredient in cosmetics, and its cultivation has been a major driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss. By using a combination of the RSPO’s mass balance and book-and-claim models, Nu Skin ensures that its palm oil consumption supports sustainable production practices. This move aligns the company with best practices in the consumer goods sector and addresses a key concern for environmentally conscious consumers.

Integrating Impact into a 40-Year Legacy

The 2024 report positions these social and environmental achievements not as peripheral activities, but as integral components of the company's business strategy. This integrated ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) approach has garnered significant external validation, with the company receiving 37 awards in the past year for its sustainable products, business practices, and social impact efforts from organizations like the Global Beauty and Wellness Awards and Global Green Beauty.

The company, which consists of the Nu Skin brand and its synergistic Rhyz Inc. ecosystem of technology and manufacturing companies, operates in nearly 50 markets worldwide. By embedding its Force for Good and sustainability initiatives directly into its global operations, Nu Skin leverages its extensive network of employees and sales leaders, who participated in service projects with over 2,000 volunteers. This model demonstrates how a large, publicly-traded corporation can mobilize its resources for wide-ranging positive impact, setting a potential benchmark for others in the direct-selling and wellness industries. As consumers and investors increasingly prioritize corporate responsibility, Nu Skin's detailed reporting and long-term commitments reflect a strategic understanding of the evolving business landscape.
