Conducted in April 2022<\/span>, Herbalife Nutrition’s Asia Pacific<\/span><\/i> Nutrition Sustainability Survey 2022 <\/i>polled 5,500 consumers aged 18 to 75 in 11 Asia Pacific markets, including Australia<\/span>, Hong Kong<\/span>, Indonesia<\/span>, Japan<\/span>, Korea, Malaysia<\/span>, Philippines<\/span>, Singapore<\/span>, Taiwan<\/span>, Thailand<\/span> and Vietnam<\/span>. The survey shed light on consumers’ attitudes towards sustainable nutrition, the environmentally sustainable nutrition-related actions that they intend to take, and the importance of sustainability efforts by nutrition companies.<\/p>\n

Among those respondents who consider environmental sustainability important, their top considerations are “the amount of waste generated”(65%) and “the amount\/material of packaging a product uses” (62%) when they decide whether to purchase a nutrition product. Additionally, three-fourths (76%) feel the recyclability of packaging materials is important in making nutrition-related decisions. This is felt most strongly by respondents in the Philippines<\/span> (93%) and Thailand<\/span> (89%).<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed that close to 80% of consumers in APAC would pay more for nutrition choices that support or promote environmental sustainability. Across the different demographic groups, Gen Z\/ Millennials (80%) are more likely to pay more for sustainable nutrition choices, compared to Gen X\/ Boomers (76%). When asked about how much more they would pay, 70% said between 1% and 10%, while 18% are willing to pay from 11% up to 15% more.<\/p>\n

“Global climate change is affecting us all, spurring consumers across Asia Pacific<\/span> to place more importance on environmental sustainability in their nutrition-related decisions,” said Stephen Conchie<\/span>, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific and China<\/span>. “We are keenly aware of the urgency of climate change and are striving to play our part in helping protect the planet for the future, such as harnessing the power of plant-based proteins and ingredients in our products, reducing the use of plastic and amount of packaging, as well as increasing recycling efforts through the launch of Asia Pacific Simply Recycle Challenge<\/i>.”<\/p>\n

“The Simply Recycle Challenge is an all-new initiative that rallies our extensive distributor network in the Asia Pacific<\/span> region to recycle their used Herbalife Nutrition product canisters. This initiative will also contribute to our Global Responsibility goal of making 50 million positive impacts by our company’s 50th anniversary in 2030,” added Conchie.<\/p>\n
