Ensuring product safety, quality and sustainability is the core of Nu Skin's corporate responsibility and runs through the entire product life cycle. In terms of product packaging, Nu Skin adopts green recyclable packaging to reduce the impact on the environment from the source, as well as lightweight packaging, renewable packaging, packaging recyclability, reuse and other measures. In 2022, Nu Skin Group will reduce the use of plastic by 82.75 tons and paper by 23.36 tons.

Li Chaodong said: "On the way to promote green environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction, we need to form a joint effort of the country, enterprises and consumers to truly achieve the green future we expect. For enterprises, we need to take sustainable development as an important standard for enterprises to consider. Even if it may affect the economic development speed or scale of enterprises in the short term, in the long run, it is a more valuable profit goal to become an enterprise that is more beneficial to society, more friendly to nature and more socially responsible in the eyes of consumers. “

In the future, facing the challenge of global climate change, Nu Skin will continue to adhere to the concept of green development, constantly promote the application of green technology, achieve new breakthroughs in green development, and contribute to the development of global green economy and environmental protection ecology.
