Shaklee Company Profile

As the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., Shaklee has been making people healthier for over 50 years. But long before green business became a mainstream concept, Shaklee was a pioneer in making the planet healthier, too.

Back in the age of synthetics and plastics, visionary leader, Dr. Forrest Shaklee, founded the company on the philosophy of living in harmony with nature. Shaklee introduced Basic H, one of the first nontoxic, biodegradable household cleaners ever. It was also highly concentrated, so it put less packaging in landfills—a big idea today, to be sure. But that was in 1960.

Shaklee continued to break ground by embracing environmental responsibility long ahead of its time. In the 70s, the company removed phosphates from its laundry detergents even as other manufacturers fought new local bans.

In 2000, Shaklee became the first company in the world to be certified Climate NeutralÔ for having a net zero impact on the earth. Today, that’s a huge commitment for a company. And yet Shaklee was doing it seven years ago.

That same year, Shaklee opened its award-winning world headquarters. It was one of the first green, energy-conscious buildings, pioneering the use of sustainable and recycled materials.

Shaklee has also been a model of corporate partnership with environmental organizations. The company has a partnership with 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate, Dr. Wangari Maathai, who is the global ambassador for Shaklee’s “A Million Trees. A Million Dreams.” campaign. They’ve also partnered with Dr. Jeffery Sachs’ Millennium Promise, becoming the first company to offset carbon emissions by providing sustainable electricity to African villages. And Shaklee is providing support to acclaimed polar explorer Will Steger and his Global Warming 101 expeditions.

These are just a few among many of Shaklee’s deep and impactful partnerships that have become a model of how companies and non-governmental organizations can work together to affect change.

Since day one of its founding, Shaklee has been quietly in the forefront of the environmental movement. Today, they’ve become a leader in showing the world how idealistic values can become realistic business practices. In doing so, Shaklee is at the vanguard of helping to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, including health and climate change.
