That&#8217;s why last year, the farm applied to Young Living&#8217;s partner farm grant  program to purchase a new bus to help its employees get to work at the farm&#8217;s remote location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finca Victoria has been providing transportation for its employees for almost 20 years, but the bus wasn&#8217;t keeping up in terms of efficiency, comfort, and reliability. While Finca Victoria employees can take a public bus or drive themselves, these options create an additional financial burden for employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 68 percent of employees used the old company bus to get to and from work, which meant that breakdowns were a particularly complicated problem for day-to-day operations. Additionally, the lack of air conditioning wasn&#8217;t ideal for travelling in Mexico&#8217;s climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average the bus traveled 360 kilometers (223 miles) every working day, so boosting gas mileage and emissions efficiency was vitally important. With a new bus, the Finca Victoria Farm could make a real difference for its employees and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young Living saw the impact a new bus would make for the farm and the clear connection to our 5 x 5 Pledge. By providing grant money, we could help the Finca Victoria Farm buy a much better bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finca Victoria&#8217;s new bus has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Better gas mileage<\/li><li>Lower carbon emissions<\/li><li>Improved reliability<\/li><li>Eight additional seats<\/li><li>Improved suspension<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dali Rubi Garza Rodriguez, an employee at the farm, said: &#8220;It is an advantage to have this transportation because we can arrive here in a timely way. It is also a great help in the economic sense&#8230;otherwise, we&#8217;d need to pay more to arrive here because it&#8217;s a little far from our homes. It&#8217;s more comfortable, it has air conditioning, it&#8217;s more spacious, and it&#8217;s safer.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our commitment to making the planet a better place is something we take seriously, whether we&#8217;re creating an eco-friendly, employee-friendly Global Headquarters or providing efficient and comfortable transportation for a partner farm. As often noted by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young, we do things &#8220;for a purpose, not a profit.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: The Essential Edge, June 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Finca Victoria Farm in Mexico prides itself on its commitment to its employees and the environment.
