FOUNDER’S MESSAGE As the wrap-up for 2015 approaches, I can’t help but reflect on the wonderful year and the accomplishments of Young Living during 2015. Combining the individual accomplishments of each valued member of the Young Living family with the milestones of the company as a whole has made for quite a year.
A few of Young Living’s top 2015 moments: • I turned the position of CEO over to Mary. • We had the biggest year for event attendance for our International Grand Convention in Dallas, Texas. We have had unprecedented numbers attending recognition retreats–including three separate silver retreats–and an amazing turnout from both members and the local community for Lavender Days and the Fall Einkorn Harvest and Draft Horse Show at the farm in Mona. • We watched our first-ever distillation and production of Northern Lights Black Spruce, which has allowed us to bring back the original formulation of Valor® essential oil blend. • We were thrilled by our ever-expanding global offices and new markets, as well as new farms and distilleries, including our Croatia Helichrysum Farm and Distillery, which hosted a ribbon-cutting event in October. • We enjoyed many accolades and much recognition from Utah Business Magazine, Direct Selling Association, Better Business Bureau, and Telly Awards—just to name a few. We have many reasons to celebrate with our global family. We are about sharing our products to help people on their journey to discover and reach their highest potential. Together, with so

D. GARY YOUNG The World Leader in Essential Oils
Now his life and the growth of Young Living Essential Oils, with its worldwide farms and philanthropic endeavours, are chronicled in a new book, D. Gary Young: The World Leader in
Essential Oils, written by his wife, Mary Young. In its 336 pages, including over 700 photographs, this book will take you into Gary’s world, where you will learn about many of his triumphs and trials, including his journey back to walking again following a devastating logging accident.
An excerpt from this powerful, inspiring book: It was fascinating to all who watched him pull into the truck yard, swing his wheelchair out of the truck, manoeuvre himself around to With the Young Living Seed to Seal® process, the quality of our essential oils begins with the incredible seed. From Utah to France to Ecuador, each seed and plant on our farms and co-op and partner farms is selected carefully by Young Living and university partner experts to ensure your family always receives the best of nature in every bottle. Before plants are harvested, experts verify every species grown on Young Living farms and select seeds from plants based on the health of the plant, collecting seeds from only the strongest and most vibrant. These seeds are specifically chosen for their potential to grow into plants with maximum levels of bioactive compounds—extra-nutritional constituents—that can be transformed into our pure, authentic essential oils. Those seeds are then planted at the optimal time on our farms, eventually growing to maturity, harvested, and distilled, thus becoming the highquality oils you have come to expect from Young Living. This hands-on process keeps our oils powerful and free of synthetic chemicals. Our powerful, effective essential oils come from seeds and plants that are verified for their potential to produce the best of nature. We invite you to learn about the Seed to Seal® process and what goes into making our pure essential oils by visiting SeedToSeal.com.
