Environmental Health & Safety

Protecting People, Product, and Planet—Together

At Shield Nutraceuticals, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is not just a compliance checkbox, it’s a foundational value. From our labs to your hands, every step of our process is designed to safeguard human well-being and minimize environmental impact. Our mission is to go beyond safety standards and foster a culture where health, sustainability, and responsibility go hand in hand.

Our EHS Mission

Our mission is to maintain the highest standards of environmental health and safety across all aspects of our business. We strive to protect the people who make and use our products, the communities we serve, and the ecosystems we impact. Shield Nutraceuticals is committed to clean manufacturing, risk reduction, and continuous improvement in environmental stewardship.

Our EHS Vision

We envision a future where the safest products are also the most sustainable. In this future, consumer wellness and environmental ethics work in harmony. We aim to lead the nutraceutical industry by setting new benchmarks in EHS innovation from biodegradable packaging to workplace safety and pollution prevention. Our vision is to create systems that heal not harm our bodies or our world.

Our Commitments

We uphold a transparent and proactive EHS policy that touches every level of our supply chain. Our commitments include:

  • Safe, GMP-certified production with strict occupational hazard controls

  • Clean-label formulas free from known allergens, heavy metals, and banned substances

  • Ethical waste management and emissions reduction in manufacturing and logistics

  • Sustainable ingredient sourcing with reduced environmental load

  • Internal audits, safety evaluations, and third-party inspections

We believe that protecting health starts long before the product reaches the consumer.

We Perform, Safely

Every process at Shield Nutraceuticals is built with safety as a non-negotiable. Our DigestShield® and future formulations are produced in FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facilities where employee health protocols are strictly enforced.

From air quality controls and microbial testing to ergonomic packaging stations and PPE protocols, we ensure that the people making our products are as protected as the people consuming them.

  • No cross-contamination zones

  • Emergency preparedness procedures in place

  • Verified hygiene controls and environmental cleaning protocols

  • 100% compliance with U.S. OSHA and FDA workplace safety regulations

We believe performance without safety is never worth the risk.

Our Global EHS Policy

Shield Nutraceuticals abides by a global EHS policy that adheres to both U.S. and international standards including:

  • U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations

  • ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems

  • ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety

We assess environmental and safety impacts during every product lifecycle stage from raw material to final shipment and commit to eliminating or minimizing risks wherever possible.

EHS Governance & Oversight

Our EHS program is led by a cross-functional compliance team reporting directly to executive leadership. Governance includes:

  • Quarterly EHS risk assessments and audits

  • Transparent incident tracking and internal reporting

  • Emergency response and recall plans

  • Annual third-party inspections and certifications

EHS success is measured not just in regulatory compliance, but in zero incidents and continuous improvement metrics.

Safety Training & Culture

Safety is a team effort. That’s why every Shield employee from warehouse to office receives comprehensive EHS training tailored to their role. Training includes:

  • Safe handling of raw materials and finished products

  • Spill prevention, cleanup, and disposal

  • Fire safety and emergency preparedness

  • DEI-centered workplace health and wellness policies

We foster a culture of safety ownership. If a team member sees something unsafe, they’re empowered to stop production and report it without fear of retaliation.

Certifications & Industry Affiliations

To back up our EHS commitments, we align with the most credible certifications and industry partners:

  • GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Certified Facilities

  • NSF International Compliance

  • FDA and USDA Compliant Labels and Allergen Protocols

  • Member of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN)

  • Participation in EPA’s Safer Choice Program (in development)

These affiliations help us stay ahead of evolving regulations and ensure our standards are among the highest in the industry.

Transparency in Action

We practice full transparency with our customers and partners. Our product labels clearly disclose:

  • Ingredient origins and allergen risks

  • Safety and manufacturing certifications

  • Batch traceability and expiry testing protocols

In addition, our EHS data including incidents, goals, and progress will be shared publicly through our upcoming Annual ESG Report. Because safety without accountability isn’t real safety.
