Our Journey to B Corp Certification

At BeeNZ, we believe honey is more than a sweetener - it’s an essential connection to our ecosystem, which is why we have been on a mission since 2020 to evolve from a premium producer into a deeply conscious brand.

We are incredibly proud to have achieved B Corp Certification in 2022, a milestone that reflects our commitment to the highest social and environmental standards and our promise to keep the planet and community at the heart of everything we do.

What it Means to Be Better

Being a B Corp isn’t just a badge on our jars; it’s a promise. It means we’ve committed to a higher standard of social and environmental performance, transparency, and heart. We aren’t just striving to be the best in the world; we are working to be the best for the world.

Our philosophy is anchored by four intentional pillars: Product, People, Planet, and Progress. These aren’t just words on a page, they are the heartbeat of every decision we make, from the hive to your home.

A Circular Commitment to Our Planet

We have always looked to nature for our greatest inspiration, which is why we’ve transitioned our jars to 100% recycled PET (rPET). By choosing materials that have already lived a life, we are closing the loop and honoring our commitment to a circular economy.

  • A Lighter Footprint: rPET is significantly lighter and more compact, reducing our energy use during transit.

  • Lower Emissions: Using recycled materials generates 79% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than virgin plastic. It’s a small change with a massive resonance for our planet.

Nurturing the Hive: Our People

A healthy hive depends on the wellbeing of every single bee. At BeeNZ, our team is our greatest asset, and we believe that for our honey to be truly "good," the lives of those who harvest it must be, too.

  • The Good Buzz: Named by the very team it supports, this wellbeing program is the heartbeat of our internal culture. We believe true consciousness starts from the inside out. Through these intentional initiatives, we nurture our people by favoring growth and balance, ensuring our hive remains as vibrant as the honey we produce.

  • BeeWell Healthcare: Launched in 2022, this initiative ensures our staff has the peace of mind and care they need, exactly when they need it.

  • A Living Wage: We remain a dedicated Living Wage Employer. We believe every member of our team deserves a quality of life that reflects their invaluable contribution to our mission.

The Journey Continues

Our B Corp journey began in earnest in 2022, but the path to progress has no finish line. By reporting our impact transparently, we hold ourselves accountable to you, our community, and to the planet we call home.

Whether you’re stirring a spoonful of our gold into your morning tea or using our nutrient rich honey topically for skin care, you can trust that your ritual is supporting a better future.
