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.

Community donations

Our aim is to put our community at the centre of everything we do. We want to improve both the social and environmental landscape for our local community- from our bee welfare policy (check out our Adopt a Bee scheme- we donate 25% of profits from these sales to the Honey Pot Foundation), to our local charity support… we’re a business for good, not just for profit.
