In 2020, USANA began a formal stakeholder assessment to gather
insight on its ESG performance, priorities, areas in which USANA
could make the greatest impact, and how the company could enhance
its sustainability transparency and reporting. This assessment
allowed USANA to identify the most significant ESG issues facing
the company.
"Everything we work to accomplish at USANA starts with our
people, which is why we put such a strong emphasis on making USANA
the gold standard for workplace excellence," says Paul Jones, USANA's chief people officer. "Four
key areas highly support our employees: 1) employee health and
well-being; 2) talent management and development; 3) Diversity,
Equality, and Inclusion (DEI); and 4) community engagement. This
focus allows us to create an environment where employees feel safe,
valued, and included."
