Sustainability
Sustainability an expression of who we are. It is built on our beliefs and communicates our call to action on how we plan to leave the world in a better place.
At the heart of Comvita is a profound respect for our natural environment. It’s always been this way, since 1974
Our sustainability initiatives reflect our ambition to leave the world in a better place. We stand as kaitiaki (guardians) for bees – and to date have rescued over 60 million bees. To help restore balance to ecosystems, we’ve planted over 7 million native trees throughout New Zealand. To make a positive impact on people throughout the world, we engage in many community outreach programs. In 2023, we achieved B Corporation certification, meaning we meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability all to use business as a force for good.
“Our vision has always been to build a business that would help people to live well naturally.”
– ALAN BOUGEN, CO-FOUNDER
