Co-Impact Sourcing: Wild Orange in Greece

<<6>> We're here at the CHB, Christodoulou Bros Company,

<<10>> in Greece in the region of Nafplio.

<<12>> CHB Bros are a second-generation company,

<<16>> and this is the perfect region, with the perfect soil

<<19>> to produce oranges and the best quality of oranges

<<22>> around the world.

<<24>> This producer has been partnering with doTERRA

<<27>> for more than four years now.

<<29>> They are very concerned with sustainability

<<31>> and the environment.

<<33>> First of all, we advise our farmers

<<35>> to adopt sustainable practices

<<37>> that long-term, are going to give him more profit

<<40>> but also protect the environment.

<<42>> Second of all, we as producers,

<<45>> we are making big steps in water management,

<<48>> waste management, and of course,

<<51>> we're trying to use the fruit in a 360 way,

<<54>> so that it doesn't become waste.

<<56>> They have about 3,000 producers of orange in this region,

<<60>> and actually doTERRA is funding renovation

<<64>> of their learning centre,

<<66>> so they can bring all the producers to receive training,

<<69>> to receive education.

<<70>> So in our premises in Nafplio,

<<72>> we are proud to have 100 people working with us.

<<75>> So we need about 2,000 fruits of orange

<<77>> to produce one litre of oil.

<<80>> So the harvest season of orange,

<<81>> it goes from November to May,

<<83>> which is the coolest part of the year.

<<86>> doTERRA has citrus partners in Brazil, Greece, and Italy,

<<90>> and then, we can produce the perfect

<<92>> proprietary blend for doTERRA.

<<94>> We believe that even the smell

<<96>> or the touch of the orange can make them understand

<<99>> the purity, and how natural is our end product,

<<102>> and how close it is from the field to the actual bottle.

<<107>> We try to find partners with the same culture,

<<111>> which cares about the producer,

<<113>> so we are looking forward to increasing the production here.

<<116>> We want to triple our impact by 2030.

<<119>> So the idea is to impact more than 10,000 lives

<<122>> here in Greece with the oil production.
