Here are the sustainability projects of which we are we are most proud:

• Muscadine grapes: Muscadine grapes are grapes that have a higher source of antioxidants and resveratrol than the common table grape. We have developed a long-term partnership with Paulk Vineyards in Georgia, and its six generations of farming experience. The vineyard was started by Jacob Paulk, a 4th generation farmer who is committed to the highest standards of green and sustainable farming.

• Fish oil: Our fish oil is certified through Friends of the Sea, an international conservation organization that follows strict criteria for sustainability. Friends of the Sea tracks population size and works with fishermen to set catch limits and avoid harvesting during spawning time. The efforts help to ensure a constant supply of good quality fish oil without harming the environment.

• Get Clean® pitcher: The carbon block filter in our water pitcher is sourced from coconut shells. Coconut shell carbon is recognized as the highest quality because it has a pore structure that allows it to trap a wide variety of contaminants. The coconuts used to create the filter are farm-raised, renewable, and have a very short growing cycle. Our carbon filters are produced in a closed stainless steel vessel that releases no emission to the environment during processing.

• Get Clean line: Many of the natural ingredients in our Get Clean line, our nontoxic household cleaning line, are sustainably sourced. Mineral salts, corn, coconut, and vegetable glycerin all come from renewable sources.

Shaklee has been committed to sustainability almost from our inception. We were the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral® certification by totally offsetting our CO₂ emissions.

We took a long, hard look at ourselves and reduced our U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by consolidating our distribution and maximizing distribution efficiencies. We targeted our efforts to conserve water, gas, and electricity in company-controlled facilities. We also reduced the materials we used through our packaging, reusing shipping cartons, and utilizing post-consumer recycled paper.

In 2000,Shaklee opened its World Headquarters, one of the first green, energy-saving, award-winning buildings designed using sustainable materials, including certified sustainable wood, recycled carpets, and recycled plastics. In 2001, Shaklee received the Savings by Design Energy Efficiency Integration Award by the American Institute of Architects.

Our journey towards environmental sustainability is an expression of our commitment to the third pillar of The Shaklee Difference: Always Green. By linking Always Safe and Always Works to Always Green, we are recognizing that human health is intimately tied to the health of the environment.
