sustainable change and education,” said Tyler Clark, CEO, Village
Book Builders. “With the Company’s expertise in nutrition and
global network, we look forward to incorporating nutrition-based
programs that will broaden children’s education and increase the
knowledge they share with their families and communities on how to
access affordable and nutritious food.”

strengthening communities, from helping people improve their
nutrition with science-backed products to providing economic
opportunities through its direct selling business model. In its
first ever Global Responsibility Report: Nourishing People and
Planet, launched last year, the global nutrition company outlined
how it intends to support communities around the world in three
meaningful areas: enabling greater access to nutrition, increasing
access to economic opportunities, and strengthening environmental
stewardship.

its global responsibility goals with the targets defined by the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To drive progress,
Herbalife Nutrition has set a goal to achieve 50 million positive
