No matter the cost, dōTERRA makes it a priority to protect the environment and provide fair treatment to all harvesters, growers, and distillers when sourcing essential oils. This is called Co-Impact Sourcing, and it is a vital part of the doTERRA business model. Below are the eight guiding principles of Co-Impact Sourcing:

✓ Generating Jobs: Reduce poverty by creating and sustaining jobs

✓ Providing Fair, On-Time Payments: Offer consistent, fair payments to producers, including prepayments

✓ Building Supplier Capacity: Support farmers, producers, and distillers through training and financial support

✓ Sustaining Long-Term Partnerships: Provide multi-year contracts with growers and distillers based on solidarity and respect

✓ Ensuring Fair Labor Conditions: Create healthy and safe working environments, free from harassment and discrimination

✓ Promoting Cooperatives: Guarantee respect for the right for all employees and producers to join and form co-operatives

✓ Furthering Environmental Stewardship: Promote energy efficient technologies, renewable energy, and waste minimization

✓ Facilitating Community Development: Support community development projects in sourcing communities such as schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems

dōTERRA is proud to encompass guiding sourcing principles that make the world a better place.
