Enzo's family has been producing citrus oils in southern Brazil for nearly 150 years. He grows wild orange for doTERRA alongside other small, garden-sized orange growers in his region, a cluster of family plots rather than a single industrial estate. Half a world away, in India, a woman named Rukin took over as the sole provider for her family after her husband died; she now harvests lemongrass for a doTERRA supply chain and uses the income to keep her sons in school. Neither name appears on a bottle. Both are the reasons a bottle exists.
Those two stories, told on doTERRA's Impact platform, point to the part of the essential oils business that rarely reaches the customer: the growers, harvesters, and distillers whose work begins years before an oil is bottled. doTERRA organizes its relationships with those people under a model it calls Co-Impact Sourcing, and the doTERRA sourcing hub puts numbers to it. More than 360,000 jobs have been supported since July 2021. Over 48 percent of contributors are women. Partnerships span more than 40 countries and feed more than 250 oils and botanical ingredients. The figures are large. The stories underneath them are individual.
