The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) is an independent public charity that was founded by Mark Hughes in 1994. He believed everyone should have access to nutritious food as well as a basic understanding of what the human body needs to thrive. The foundation partners with charities and organisations that focus on giving access to the nutrition and education necessary to help build more resilient communities. HFF also provides funds for disaster relief and partners with organisations like the Red Cross. Find out how you can support the Herbalife Family Foundation.

There is no denying that our generation is living through a transformative era. Coping with increased global conflict and a pandemic is challenging enough, but we are also living through economic inflation, a worldwide non-communicable disease health epidemic and serious environmental crises that could have unprecedented effects on our societies. It is imperative we ensure the long-term viability of our food systems.

With this in mind, leading nutrition company Herbalife, Altermind, and expert researchers from various fields conducted a study on the interlinked relationship between the health, price and sustainability of our food, referred to as an “impossible trinity”. At first glance, it seems unworkable to ensure a balance between these three aspects. However, the report shows that achieving a more optimised equilibrium is possible – and it’s imperative that decision makers, consumers, and industry stakeholders move towards this goal.

Lastly, this research looks at Herbalife’s flagship Formula 1 as a case study for overcoming the impossible trinity of environment, health and affordability in the food sector.

We will continue to share our goals, progress, policies and position statements as we embed sustainability into our day-to-day operations. As a member of the United Nations Global Compact since 2020, and with countless other partnerships, we demonstrate our commitment to operate in ways that create lasting, positive change for people and the planet.
