ADVANCING WELLBEING TODAY FOR A THRIVING TOMORROW
2024 Sustainability Impact Report
Mike Pilato
President & CEO
Jamieson Wellness
Our purpose of Inspiring Better Lives Every Day is the driving force behind everything we do at Jamieson Wellness.
As a trusted global leader in health and wellness, this purpose motivates us to advance wellbeing for everyone we serve. In the face of global challenges, 2024 was a year of significant progress for our sustainability agenda, building on the momentum of programs outlined in our inaugural 2023 Sustainability Impact Report. Our achievements this year spanned several key areas. We conducted our first Global Engagement and Inclusion Survey, with 86% of our workforce participating. The results showed that sustainability is a significant driver of engagement, and 83% of our team members expressed pride in working at Jamieson. On the environmental front, we completed several capital projects focused on energy efficiency and sustainable technology. We anticipate these projects will contribute to 22% of our 2030 Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions reduction goal. Additionally, we completed our first double materiality assessment and two consumer studies focused on sustainability, giving us deeper insights into our stakeholders’ priorities. Transforming our culture and operations has been crucial to our progress. Our culture of belonging helps us attract and retain diverse talent, which gives us a competitive advantage as we grow globally. Our diversity, combined with embedding sustainability into everything we do, has been key to moving our agenda forward. While we are proud of our achievements, we recognize there is still work to do. The next five years will be a critical window to accelerate our progress. Looking ahead, we are focused on three of our most ambitious targets: • Reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 • Increasing recycled content in all branded packaging by 50% • Ensuring that 100% of our processes and policies are free of bias These targets represent key pillars of our comprehensive sustainability strategy, which includes additional commitments detailed in the full report. Our focus on sustainability is not just good for the planet. It will help us push the boundaries of innovation, drive operational excellence, and hold ourselves accountable to create lasting value for all stakeholders. On behalf of Jamieson, I want to thank our partners, consumers, shareholders, the Board, and our team members for trusting and supporting us on our sustainability journey. Together, we are building a more prosperous future, ensuring we all thrive for years to come.” Sincerely, Mike Pilato President & CEO

Joel Scales
EVP, Jamieson International Global Strategy & E-Comm
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging plays a critical role in Jamieson’s success because it reinforces that this is a place where everyone belongs,” says Joel Scales, Executive Sponsor of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. “I genuinely believe that if you can provide openness to marginalized people, you can shrink the distance between their real-self and their work-self, ensuring they feel comfortable enough to show up authentically, and that’s a vital part of nurturing the wellbeing of all our people.
Fighting Global Malnutrition with Nutrition International
For 30 years, Nutrition International has been leading the global fight against malnutrition, reaching between 100–200 million children annually across 50 countries with life-saving vitamin A supplements.
As one of Nutrition International’s trusted partners for over a decade, we have been proud to contribute to this vital mission, helping reduce childhood morbidity and mortality caused by vitamin A deficiency.
“We’re pleased that Jamieson has chosen to support Nutrition International, and the VAS program, since 2013 in delivering high-quality vitamin A capsules to millions of children in need, saving lives around the world.” – Emily Measures, Sr. Global Portfolio Director, Child Survival at Nutrition International

WELLBEING FOR THE PLANET
Restoring nature and biodiversity
To ensure a restorative and sustainable future for the next century, we must act now to protect our planet’s health and wellbeing. Nature climate solutions (NCSs) are a key driver of our sustainability strategy. According to the World Economic Forum’s Nature and Net Zero Report, these projects can deliver up to 33% of global net emissions reductions. In 2024, we invested in several new restoration projects by partnering with veritree, a restorative platform that connects nature-based solutions with mission-driven companies. These impact projects will sequester carbon, restore biodiversity, and help local communities thrive.
“Jamieson is supporting farmers in Senegal in revitalizing their lands by planting diverse, resilient tree species,” says David Luba, Co-founder and Head of Partnerships at veritree. “By championing this agroforestry project, Jamieson is helping communities rebuild forests, protect their livelihoods, and secure a healthier future for future generations.”
REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Our ambition is to reduce our full value chain emissions to Net Zero by 2050.
In 2024, we successfully implemented environmental projects that we anticipate will contribute 22% of our 2030 Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions reduction goal. In 2025, we will conduct a Scope 3 emissions inventory to help us address our environmental impact across our entire value chain.
At the Windsor (INTL) manufacturing facility, we rely heavily on our boiler for processing heating needs. In 2024, we added a second boiler to help support production growth. This second boiler is more efficient and is coupled with an economizer, which captures and reuses heat that would otherwise be exhausted outside the building. This innovative approach allows us to reduce natural gas consumption, leading to an estimated reduction in our carbon footprint by 177 tCO2-e annually4 by 2026.
We’ve implemented ENA smart thermostats across our facilities in Ontario5. This measure standardizes settings and optimizes energy use across our large and complex facilities footprint, reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 30 tCO2-e annually by 2026.
We’ve installed an exterior dust collector to centralize and streamline dust collection6. This upgrade significantly enhances efficiency and reduces maintenance complexity. Additionally, the processed air is now recirculated into the facility through a HEPA filtration system, minimizing the need for natural gas for heating and summer cooling and contributing to our sustainability goals. (Estimated 156.4 tCO2-e reduction by 2026.)
Our next step involves doing a Scope 3 emissions inventory in 2025 on key material categories, ensuring that we address the full spectrum of our environmental impact along our entire value chain.
This commitment reflects our determination to lead with our purpose and integrate sustainability into every aspect of our operations. Together, we are working to make a positive difference for the planet and the communities we serve.
Advancing circularity to minimize waste
A core pillar of our sustainability strategy is circularity – where we actively enhance the circularity of our packaging and optimize our waste streams to minimize environmental impact.
Consumer insights: In 2024, we gathered consumer insight feedback on post-consumer recycled materials (PCR) to better understand their expectations. This research aligns our efforts with the Plastics Pact commitments and evolving consumer preferences. These insights will play a key role in shaping our PCR implementation plan.
As part of our commitment to sustainable packaging, we successfully completed stability testing on all bottle formats, ensuring durability and product integrity.
Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of plastics data, including total resin weights across all packaging formats, covering our entire brand portfolio.

Ensuring a responsible supply chain
As we continue to grow globally, we recognize our responsibility to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our business. A key part of this journey is ensuring transparency in our sustainability practices and holding our partners and suppliers to the same high standards through our Sustainable Partner Program. Overseen by our Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, this program specifically evaluates human rights and sustainability performance across our supplier network. Participation in the program is mandatory for all suppliers, reinforcing our commitment to ethical and responsible business practices.
