Value proposition

Working in harmony with bees and nature to heal and protect the world. Certified B Corp.

In 1974, Comvita founders Claude Stratford and Alan Bougen imagined people living healthy lives. Bees were their inspiration, and honey their medicine. Together, they set out on their mission: to benefit people's lives by creating top-quality, healthy products in as close to their natural state as possible.

Nearly 50 years on, our purpose is still to inspire, enable and empower people to live healthy and vibrant lives, whilst working in harmony with bees and nature, to heal and protect the world.

We are a proud member of the B Corp community, gaining our certification in August 2023. B Corp certification independently validates our high standards of environmental performance, transparency and accountability. We are fully committed to continuous improvement and making a positive impact for people and planet.

E reretau ana, e mahi ngātahi, ana mātou ko ngā pī me te taiao i Aotearoa, hei whakaora, hei manaaji āno i te Ao Tūroa.

Our values determine how we live our purpose.
Mā te katoa e ārahi – We all Lead
Kotahitanga – Togetherness
Ngākaunui ana ki tea ko – We Love to Learn
Kaitiakitanga – Guardianship and Protection
