USANAS Environmental Stewardship

~USANA GOES GREEN~
Auguest 2007

USANA Health Sciences recognizes that human health and environmental health go hand-in-hand. Thus, our mission to develop and manufacture the highest quality, science-based health products possible carries with it a responsibility to do so in ways that protect, preserve, and promote the integrity of our environment. In keeping with this responsibility, we have launched a program of environmental stewardship—USANA Green. Our accomplishments to date include the following:

• Established recycling programs for all solid waste, and specifically for certain high impact or high value
wastes such as office paper, cardboard, cardboard drums, plastic, metals, and glass.
• Conducted employee trainings in energy conservation, solid waste recycling, and office paper reduction.
• Became a Visionary Partner in the Rocky Mountain Power Blue Sky Program (wind power).
• Became a member of the EPA’s Green Power Partnership Program through support of the Blue Sky
Program.
• Implemented a program rewarding USANA employees for carpooling to work as well as purchasing and
driving fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Xeriscaped large portions of USANA’s corporate grounds to significantly reduce water use.
• Converted all office paper to 35 percent recycled material.
• Implementing electronic forms initiatives and paperless office programs to reduce office paper use and
waste. As of August 2, 2007, USANA has reduced total office paper use by 10 percent despite significant
growth in personnel and overall business activity.
• Working towards EPA WasteWise certification.
• Working towards LEEDS certification (Silver Level) for new office tower.
• Working with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality towards status as a Clean Utah Partner.
