Emily Wright, the company's founding executive and executive vice president of sales and marketing, notes that the company was founded with a social business mindset. The strict guiding principles of sourcing developed by doterra now provide the framework for other companies to implement sustainable and socially and environmentally responsible supply chains on a global scale. The economic impact of doTERRA can be seen in its ever-expanding campus that employs nearly 2,500 people in Utah and through the opening and development of several global markets, where it employs an additional 500 employees. While Young Living owns and cultivates the plants, distills and tests its products, doTERRA selects the best farms to source from exclusive contracted growers.
