Honest & Fair Business

Natural Health Trends Corp. (NHTC) has a Worldwide Code of Business Conduct, revised May 20, 2019, applicable to directors, officers, and employees.
1
This code includes a whistleblower policy that allows anonymous reporting through Lighthouse Services, Inc., via multiple channels (website, phone, email, fax).
2
The policy explicitly states that no employee will suffer retribution for good faith reporting and that identity will not be disclosed without permission.
3
Identified reporters are notified of investigation results and can escalate concerns to the Board, its outside counsel, or outside auditor.
4
The company's anti-corruption policy strictly prohibits bribery and improper payments, referencing the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and mandates compliance by employees and agents, including maintaining accurate information and internal controls.

However, there is no evidence of training frequency or effectiveness metrics for this policy. For third-party verification, NHTC engages a service provider to monitor the internet and social media for potential misconduct or policy violations by members, and conducts periodic manufacturer and warehouse audits for regulatory compliance.

This limited scope of verification, focused on member conduct and specific audits, does not cover a broad range of ethical claims. The company has not had any financial restatements in the past five years, with the most recent 10-K filing on February 26, 2021, and no restatements mentioned in the 2025 filing.
