dōTERRA is of Latin origin and means
"Gift of the Earth."
Human slavery is not a history lesson. Right now, many women, children and men are trafficked – forced or manipulated into service – for work or prostitution. It is estimated that 40.3 million people are currently enslaved worldwide, more than the entire population of Canada.
doTERRA has instituted the Hope Program. Hope is our action plan to end modern slavery, because everyone deserves freedom to hope.
Since 2016, doTERRA Healing Hands has collaborated with trusted and professional partners to activate a comprehensive action plan for prevention, rescue, and restoring dignity and hope.
Taking personal responsibility to prevent human trafficking in our local communities through education and protecting our most vulnerable.
Supporting local experts, task forces and law enforcement who are professionally trained to perform responsible rescue operations.
Funding trusted programs, trauma-informed care and support structures that help to restore dignity to those who have been freed.
One of the ways doTERRA maintains integrity within its supply chain and avoids human trafficking is through the doTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing® Initiative. This supply chain initiative seeks to create shared value throughout the doTERRA global botanical network.
doTERRA deliberately seeks to improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of experienced local farmers, distillers, and producers of Certified Pure Tested Grade® essential oils, working to provide ethical treatment to partners in the supply chain.
doTERRA abides by eight Sourcing Guiding Principles:
Additionally, all doTERRA suppliers are given a Code of Conduct, based on International Labour Organization (ILO) standards and internationally accepted good labor practices.
