Our Impact
At SuperBee, sustainability isn’t a marketing chapter — it’s the business model: everyday products that replace single-use plastic, made by people who earn a good living making them. Here’s what that means in practice.
Good for the planet
Built to last
At the heart of the SuperBee ethos: high-quality, durable products made to be used and loved for years — reuse instead of throwaway.
Compostable, down to the packaging
In line with circular-economy principles, compostable materials come first — for products and packaging alike. At the end of their life they can safely return to the earth.
Production waste, upcycled
Offcuts and production leftovers are turned into new products instead of ending up in landfill — less waste, and some truly unique eco-products.
Sustainable manufacturing
From energy-efficient facilities to responsibly sourced materials and ethical labour practices — sustainability counts at every step of production.
Design innovation
SuperBee keeps pushing product design forward — collaborating with designers and artisans on innovative, eco-friendly solutions.
Good for people
A living wage — and then some
Everyone on the team earns at least the legal minimum wage. In practice, pay sits 20% above the living wage that the Fair Trade Association recommends.
Empowerment
SuperBee helps people act on their values — within the team and far beyond it. Fair trade, ethical sourcing and collaboration on equal footing are the foundation.
Microfinance projects
Small loans and financial services — especially for women and marginalised groups — help people start businesses and build stable, resilient livelihoods.
Locally sourced
Materials and supplies come from the region whenever possible — cutting the carbon footprint and strengthening the communities SuperBee works in.
Opportunities for underserved suppliers
Underserved local suppliers and artisans — especially from marginalised communities — gain access to markets, fair pay and skill development.
Jobs in rural areas
The workshop creates skilled jobs in the villages around Chiang Mai — turning rural communities into hubs of sustainable production.
Sharing knowledge
Education
Campaigns, workshops and partnerships with educational institutions raise awareness of how consumer choices affect the planet — so everyone can make informed decisions.
Social & environmental goals
Ecological sustainability doesn’t work without social sustainability: fair labour policies, support for underserved communities and partnerships with social enterprises are built into the business.
Independently verified
You don’t have to take SuperBee’s word for it: since April 2023, SuperBee has been a certified B Corp — after an independent audit of labour conditions, environmental performance and the supply chain. What’s behind B Corp certification · The full SuperBee story
