“Our vision has always been to build a business that would help people to live well naturally.”
- Alan Bougen, Co-Founder
Our Harmony Plan is our sustainability framework – it is 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, before climate change had even entered the world’s vocabulary.
Our Harmony Plan drives several key sustainability initiatives that reflect our ambition to leave the world in a better place. As climate action leaders we will become carbon positive by 2025, we stand as kaitiaki (guardians) for bees – aspiring to save 30 million bees per year, we aim to restore balance to ecosystems through native tree planting programs and leave positive impact in human populations around the world through employment opportunities and community outreach programs
