The Scope 3 emissions include notable contributions from purchased goods and services (36,070,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (474,000 kg CO2e), and downstream transportation and distribution (3,689,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 52,681,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,025,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,723,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 52,681,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 data showed similar trends, with total emissions of approximately 53,000,000 kg CO2e, including 1,246,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,992,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these figures, Nature's Sunshine Products has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, maintaining its own reporting standards. Overall, while Nature's Sunshine Products has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
