USANA Sustainability – The Healthiest Family on Earth
Our core values—health, excellence, integrity, and community—drive every decision we make. Our approach to sustainability is the process through which we meet the needs of today without compromising our ability to meet the needs of the future. Considering this, USANA built our program around three key pillars – People, Planet, and Products.
USANA's commitment to sustainability extends far beyond simply doing good—it is intricately woven into our strategy for long-term success. Sustainability is not just a box to check; it is a strategic imperative that drives innovation, resilience, and value creation across our business. By addressing crucial social, environmental, and governance issues, we not only fulfill our corporate responsibility but also bolster our competitive advantage in an ever-evolving marketplace. As stakeholders—investors, Associates, and employees alike—your dedication to our sustainability efforts ensures that we not only thrive in the present but also pave the way for a resilient future.

Communities are faced with increasing environmental issues that could affect their health and happiness. And the families in these communities are looking for ways to confront these problems. Garden Towers have the potential to do just that. One of the many great aspects of Garden Towers is they can be established almost anywhere-even in urban areas. They attract a variety of flora and fauna, creating a valuable green space that might otherwise be neglected, reduce land value, or be used for illegal dumping or crime.
At a glance, here's how Garden Towers benefit a community's local environment:
Improves soil and air quality
Increases biodiversity of plants and animals, including bees, insects, and birds
Reduces waste through composting
Reduces distance required to transport or purchase food
Can replace neglected spaces that harm a community's value
Creates a natural, green space for people to appreciate and enjoy
