Celebrates Ten Years Ten years ago, dōTERRA set out to change the world one drop of essential oil at a time. Since then, the company has grown from a few individuals filling bottles and creating homemade labels to a global network of over 5 million Wellness Advocates and Wholesale and Retail Customers. With each drop shared, we are revolutionizing the way families care for each other. CELEBRATING A DECADE OF CHANGE WITH THE DAY OF CHANGE Wanting to remain true to the culture of giving that is at the heart of dōTERRA, the founders invited employees, customers, and community members to give back by participating in a Day of Change. dōTERRA kicked off celebrations by hosting a daylong service project in partnership with Days for Girls International, where employees and volunteers produced approximately 1,800 reusable feminine hygiene kits to be distributed to girls and women in developing communities throughout the world. The Day of Change efforts spread far and wide, with Wellness Advocates and customers serving in communities throughout the world. In China, the dōTERRA team and volunteers assembled 200 care bags for children fighting critical illnesses, while in Bulgaria, the Esseterre team observed the Day of Change by donating time and efforts to a community cleanup project. HEALING HANDS PARTNERS WITH PROTECT The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® in partnership with 3Strands Global Foundation introduced the PROTECT project in Utah Schools. The announcement was made by dōTERRA co-founder Mark Wolfert and 3Strands Global Foundation co-founder, president, and CEO Ashlie Bryant. The PROTECT project (Prevention Organization to Educate Children on Trafficking) is a Day of Change—Volunteers assemble feminine hygiene kits human trafficking prevention education and training program that aims to lower children’s vulnerability to being trafficked. “It is a great privilege,” said Ashlie Bryant, “to stand alongside dōTERRA and lock arms together as we create a world free from human trafficking right here in Utah.” Through PROTECT, teachers and students learn about red flags, response protocols, and ways to prevent exploitation through a grade-specific curriculum. The dōTERRA culture of giving back is a common thread that ties our employees and Wellness Advocates together. As dōTERRA reflects on their first decade, look forward to the many new and exciting opportunities ahead. Emily Wright said, “As we celebrate ten years in the dōTERRA history, we really count our success based upon the number of lives that we have been able to empower and change for the better, rather than by looking at the dollars and cents. We are so excited for what the future holds and for the number of lives that will continue to change in the future.” Thank you for empowering individuals, families, and communities.‘’ dōTERRA received the Verified Market Leadership Award in the Global Aromatherapy and Essential Oils Market.
