At PLT Health Solutions, our awareness of the need for equitable, sustainable business practices has grown out of a 70-year concern with human health and well-being – delivered via the plant-based and botanical solutions that we bring to market. Sustainable practice comes naturally to us, and we realize it is necessary for our success.

The PLT People+Planet™ Initiative has been established to expand our sustainability efforts on behalf of both environmental and human issues – going beyond our everyday activities of promoting human health and wellness. This initiative supports and is guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by all United Nations Members States in 2015.

How We’re Working on Sustainability Today

Around the world, PLT engages in efforts to support the sustainable growing, harvesting, and processing of the raw materials that go into its ingredients as part of our PLT360™ initiative. This work includes supply chain reviews of ethical sourcing and environmental protection activities.

Many of our innovation and manufacturing partners are leaders in this area because they realize that environmental protection, sustainable planting and harvesting, natural resource stewardship, green processing, and a good living for their workers are essential to the continuation of their business in the future.
