Herbalife’s Global Sustainability: A commitment to product, people, and planet

Herbalife, a premier global health and wellness company, has unveiled its second Global Sustainability Report: “Live Your Best Life,” highlighting its impactful initiatives between 2021 and 2022. This report offers transparency into the company’s sustainable practices across three key areas: quality products, healthy people and communities, and a thriving planet.

Herbalife Regional President for Asia Pacific and China Stephen Conchie expressed how the report underscores their dedication to embedding sustainability into their business globally. He emphasized that their mission is to cater to the evolving needs of distributors, customers, employees, investors, and communities while contributing to improved health and wellness on a global scale.

Herbalife’s Global Sustainability strategy revolves around environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and transparent governance practices. This strategy is not only shaped by stakeholder priorities and enterprise risks but is also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In 2022, Herbalife engaged in a formal stakeholder assessment to gain insights into its sustainability performance and priorities, enhancing transparency and reporting. This assessment allowed the company to identify crucial sustainability issues they faced.
