Background information

Comvita (NZX:CVT) was founded in 1974/5, with a purpose to heal and protect the world through the

natural power of the hive. With a team of 550+ people globally, united with more than 1.6 billion bees,

we are the global market leader in Mānuka honey and bee consumer goods. Seeking to understand, but

never to alter, we test and verify all our bee-product ingredients are of the highest quality in our own

government-recognised and accredited laboratory. We are growing scientific knowledge on Mānuka

trees, the many benefits of Mānuka honey and propolis and bee welfare. We have planted millions of

native trees, improving our natural ecosystems and biodiversity, and mitigating climate change in

conjunction with our focus on carbon emissions reduction, while helping ensure the supply of high quality

Mānuka honey. In 2023 Comvita was certified B Corp, a global community of like-minded companies that

strive to balance profit with purpose, seeking to use business as a force for good. Comvita has operations

in Australia, China, North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe – and of course, Aotearoa New Zealand,

where our bees are thriving.
