Our Sustainability Promise

At Maters & Co

We began beekeeping in 2009 for the bees, so for us its not just about the honey produced — we help protect the world that makes it possible.

Our sustainability efforts run through everything we do, from caring for our bees to preserving natural habitats and minimising our footprint. Every jar supports healthier ecosystems, responsible beekeeping, and a cleaner future. Here’s how we’re putting our values into action.

Ethical Beekeeping and Welfare

Small batch production ensures that our hives are not over strained. We avoid high volume practices that compromise bee health.

Our honey is never pasteurised or fine filtered, and importantly never blended, thus preserving the natural enzymes, vitamins & phytonutrients bees work hard to produce.

We work with beekeepers who use sustainable, ethical methods, just as we have done with our own hives. These methods protect the bees while maintaining vibrant floral ecosystems.

Eco friendly Sourcing and Land Stewardship

Our honey begins in landscapes where nature still leads—clean, remote regions rich in wild botanicals and free from heavy pollution.

Healthier forage nurtures healthier bees, resulting in honey with exceptional depth and purity. When you support ethical beekeeping, you’re also safeguarding biodiversity itself: strengthening habitats, sustaining wildflowers and hedgerows, and helping native ecosystems flourish.

Packaging and Materials

Our jars are completely plastic-free and fully recyclable, designed to be as kind to the planet as they are beautiful on your shelf.

We print directly onto the glass using eco-conscious inks, chosen with the environment in mind so every part of our packaging respects the land it comes from. Sustainability isn't an add-on for us—it’s embedded in every detail.

Honey is not just a sweet treat, it is essential to life itself.

Bees are at the heart of everything we do. As vital pollinators, they support the food we grow, the wild plants that anchor ecosystems, and the biodiversity our landscapes depend on.

By choosing unprocessed, ethically harvested honey, you’re not just enjoying incredible flavour—you’re actively helping protect the bees and the environments they sustain. It’s a small everyday choice that supports resilient ecosystems, responsible beekeeping, and a future where nature can continue to thrive.
