Our Values

Our Harmony Plan

"We stand for and believe in the seemingly impossible - a world where bees and people thrive together in harmony" DAVID BANFIELD, CEO.

We seek to do business in a way which honors both ancient wisdom and our scientific learnings, whilst showing respect and care for our heritage and our place and restoring balance in nature.
• Strengthening our global hive:
  • Protecting bees since 1974 and supporting native forest regeneration in New Zealand.
  • Aspiring to be best employer nationally and abroad, with safety and wellbeing at the centre and progressive reinvestment in our people.
  • Investing 1% of EBITDA in community partnerships and initiatives to support better social outcomes.
