What do our labels mean?

Hilltop Honey LTD presents itself as a business with responsibility for the planet, wildlife, humans and bees, and says it is a business for good not just for profit. Its sustainability content focuses on packaging, recycling, carbon reduction, energy use, food waste, community support and employee wellbeing. The company says it is a B Corp certified business, with each batch fully traceable back to the beekeepers who produced it and tested twice for quality. It also reports using recycled materials in packaging, running its main production site on solar energy, and supporting local community projects through donations and a community fund.

Hilltop Honey LTD Sustainability Actions

Recycled packaging materials

All our glass jars and plastic bottles are made using 30% recycled materials. Our caps are recyclable (and always have been- unlike other honey brands) and behind the scenes we’re also busy exploring the possibility of our labels being 100% recyclable. Where we can, we use paper tampers over plastic, and we only use FSC certified cardboard, which is 100% recyclable too.

Carbon footprint reduction

As a business, we know that reducing our carbon footprint is really important, and this really is an on-going process for us here at Hilltop. We’ve got lots happening behind the scenes to help us analyse everything- from wastage to water usage and electricity… and more! We’re monitoring it all and we’re working towards setting reduction targets too.

Electric car charging

Our Newtown site has charging points for electric cars, which helps to encourage a greener vehicle choice. We also operate a bike stand on site, plus a cycle to work scheme, which means that staff have the choice to opt out of driving to work altogether.

Employee wellbeing support

We’re committed to investing in not only their health and wellbeing, but their education and training too. Employee training includes topics relating to social and environmental issues, so that we can be united in our plans moving forward. We monitor the indoor air on our site to ensure it remains safe for employees, and we’re partnered with a local gym so that we can offer discounted memberships.

Impact report and survey

We also created an impact report that looks at our financial, environmental and social successes over the last 12 months plus we conducted an extensive employee engagement survey through Best Companies- which resulted in Hilltop being ranked as #13 in Wales, #2 in Food & Drink and #42 for Small Companies in the UK.
