ESG

ESG reports ask for real actions, backed by evidence. Adopting hives gives you one action you can describe under Environment, Social and Governance — and we hand you the evidence, ready to file.

E — Environment

Your company supports the honey-bee colonies it adopts, kept in mountain apiaries in Boeotia by a small beekeeping business.

Our apiaries stand two to three kilometres apart. Studies have measured the effect of large apiaries on wild bees within about a kilometre around them, so we keep our own hives from piling up in one place.

For data on nature, add a yearly pollen analysis. With hives on your own roof (for companies in Greece), it lists the plants around your building, and one analysis a year is our gift.

A word of honesty, because your auditor will ask: honey bees are farmed animals. Supporting them supports beekeeping; on its own it is not wild-bee conservation, and it is not an offset. We write it exactly that way in your pack, so you can report it as a voluntary action without being caught out.

S — Social

• A rural producer. Your fee goes to a small beekeeping business with apiaries in the mountains of Greece.
• Learning for your people. Your staff attend an educational session with the beekeeper. You receive the date, duration, attendance and the results of a short quiz before and after, so the hours count as training and you can show what people learned.

G — Governance

Every figure we give you can be traced: signed contract, invoice, dated photos, attendance record, data file and a signed statement from the beekeeper. If your auditor wants to check, they can call us.

What we will not write for you

“Save the bees”, “biodiversity positive”, “carbon neutral”, “compliant”, “certified”. Since 27 September 2026, EU rules (Directive 2024/825) ban vague green claims towards consumers. The wording in your pack is written to pass them.
