Young Living has been selected as an honoree for the 2023 Green Business Award by Utah Business magazine and Rocky Mountain Power for its environmental initiatives and commitment to conservancy. The Green Business Awards are an annual event organized to honor environmentally friendly companies across the state of Utah.
Young Living is committed to being a responsible steward of the natural environment through several local projects across Utah, including:
- Creation of monarch butterfly waystations at the Young Living Farm in Mona.
- Implementation of multiple scientific research projects to study Utah’s native pollinator populations, including native bee and butterfly species, and provide habitats for them.
- A seed bank, created in collaboration with the state of Utah for the purpose of collecting more seeds to preserve rare plant species.
- Establishing Utah’s first desert bighorn sheep nursery at Young Living’s Skyrider Wilderness Ranch.
- The D. Gary Young Wildlife Sanctuary, a conservation easement donated to The Nature Conservancy’s Utah Chapter in 2019, which serves as a protected migratory corridor for the large herds of elk and deer.
“As a leading brand in our industry, it is important for us to ensure that Young Living’s environmental commitment extends beyond producing premium essential oils and wellness products to making a lasting positive impact on the planet and in the communities we serve,” said Ben Riley, president of Young Living Essential Oils.
