Young Living Essential Oils, the world leader in essential oils has promoted Lauren Walker to the role of Chief Supply Officer.

In her time with Young Living, she and her team have further implemented rigorous sourcing standards while also streamlining manufacturing, warehousing and fulfillment operations.

"Lauren embraces Young Living's passion for being stewards of the earth and has been a driving force in ensuring that the sourcing, manufacturing and shipping components of our business all operate under that mindset," said Jared Turner, Young Living Chief Operating Officer. "Her experience and expertise in project management, manufacturing, and supply chain gained throughout her career has been a great addition to our strong executive team."

Walker leads the sourcing pillar of Young Living's Seed to Seal program (Sourcing, Science and Standards), that governs how we obtain our products—whether from our corporate-owned farms, partner farms, or Seed to Seal-certified supplier. The sourcing pillar is also a major part of how we verify, through internal and third-party tracking, that the superior essential oils and premium ingredients in our products such as foods, skin care, and supplements were produced and manufactured according to industry best practices and our own high standards.

"We have an obligation to provide our customers with the highest quality products and the best customer experience, and we do that by having effective processes in place," said Walker. "I'm proud that our team has assessed the whole supply chain of an oil and refined or established processes that help us provide the best products and services to our customers."
