dōTERRA Joins UEBT: A Commitment to Ethical Sourcing

In a significant move towards promoting ethical sourcing practices, dōTERRA has recently announced its membership with the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT). As a leader in the essential oils and natural wellness sector, dōTERRA's commitment to sustainability and biodiversity rejuvenation is underscored through this membership.

What is UEBT?

The UEBT is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering ethical sourcing from biodiversity, aimed at improving both the environment and the lives of people engaged in the production process. By becoming a member, dōTERRA aligns itself with a global movement that emphasizes responsible business practices that benefit both people and nature.

According to Taylor MacKay, dōTERRA's Vice President of Strategic Sourcing, "Our membership with UEBT perfectly reflects our values and deep commitment to Co-Impact Sourcing." This statement highlights dōTERRA's ethos of creating positive impacts that extend from the cultivation of botanicals in the fields to the communities that harvest them.

The Significance of Membership

Being recognized as a UEBT member not only reinforces dōTERRA's dedication to ethical business but also positions it alongside a distinguished community of companies that prioritize responsible sourcing practices. The UEBT certification is evidence that dōTERRA has undergone thorough evaluations, reviewing its sourcing systems, and has committed to promoting responsible practices across its prioritized botanical supply chains.

"Membership in our vibrant platform means dōTERRA has committed to sourcing with respect...We look forward to working with them in the coming years," stated Rik Kutsch Lojenga, UEBT's Executive Director, emphasizing the collective effort required to drive ethical sourcing practices.

A Global Effort

With its renowned Co-Impact Sourcing® model, dōTERRA collaborates with farmers and producers in over 40 countries. This initiative not only aims to improve local livelihoods but also ensures that sustainable practices are integral to the supply chains. The essence of dōTERRA's approach is not merely to profit from these resources, but to nurture them responsibly.

In October 2025, dōTERRA participated in the UEBT Sourcing with Respect Conference in Amsterdam. This gathering of like-minded companies and organizations aimed at discussing advanced strategies on biodiversity and ethical sourcing highlighted the importance of collaboration in overcoming challenges within the industry. The conference focused on the shared responsibility in creating a sustainable future.

As dōTERRA progresses on its ethical sourcing journey, it aims to set a benchmark for others in the wellness industry by ensuring that their practices contribute positively to social and environmental conditions.

As more companies like dōTERRA take steps to commit to ethical sourcing, the global dialogue around biodiversity conservation and responsible sourcing practices is likely to flourish.
