NU SKIN's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, NU SKIN reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,794,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 2 emissions. This figure represents the market-based approach to measuring emissions associated with the electricity consumed by the company. The location-based emissions were reported at about 15,359,000 kg CO2e. Currently, NU SKIN has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they have commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate reporting and commitments. As a company headquartered in the US, NU SKIN is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate action. While they have not cascaded emissions data from a parent company, their commitment to transparency in emissions reporting is evident through their disclosures.
