SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- USANA is proud
to release its first annual sustainability report, which provides a
high-level view of how the company prioritizes and manages its
corporate sustainability efforts, including environmental, social,
and governance (ESG) priorities and other issues important to its
business and stakeholders. The report describes USANA's progress
for the 2020 fiscal year and reflects sustainability issues that

"Our vision to create the healthiest family on earth is one we
are fully invested in, and I think this detailed report is a great
example of that investment," said Kevin
Guest, USANA's chairman of the board and CEO. "USANA's core
values—health, excellence, integrity, and community—influence every
decision we make and are the values that drive our sustainability
program. I would like to thank our stakeholders for their ongoing
support of the company, and our Board of Directors and the entire
USANA family for their dedication and commitment to helping us
execute and achieve our vision."
In 2020, USANA began a formal materiality assessment to gather
insight on its ESG performance, priorities, areas where USANA could
make the greatest impact, and how the company could enhance its
sustainability disclosure and reporting. The assessment identified
several high-priority sustainability efforts for the company,
including: product quality and safety; responsible sourcing;
diversity, equity, and inclusion; talent development and
management; employee health, safety, and wellbeing; sustainable
packaging; waste management; and greenhouse gas management.
USANA's 2020 report also contained several important statistics
about the company's recent achievements in ESG. Some notable stats
include:
- USANA reused and recycled more than 50% of waste in its
operations, with 202.7 tons of cardboard, plastic, and paper
recycled
- USANA saves an average of 2.67M
gallons of water per year through several water-saving
initiatives
- USANA is transitioning to 25% Post Consumer Recycled materials
for its bottles in specific markets, along with shifting to smaller
bottles to reduce plastic usage
- 90% of USANA employees believe their supervisor, or someone at
work, cares about them as a person
- $2M+ provided in reimbursement to employees through USANA's
Tuition Reimbursement Program
- While most companies struggled with employee retention during
the COVID pandemic, USANA only had a total turnover rate of 10.6%
in 2020–a number that is considered ideal in even the best of
times
- 100% of USANA employees are trained on its Code of Ethics and
cybersecurity policies
"Our 2020 sustainability report is a great resource for the
USANA family—I highly recommend everyone read through it to see
where the company currently stands with its ESG efforts and the
important initiatives that are to come in the future," said
Paul Jones, USANA chief people
officer. "USANA has spent the last three decades investing in our
people and the planet, but we know we have more work to do. This is
a journey USANA is fully committed to."
