Elgin, Minn.-based Honeybear Brands reports it is marking progress on its year-two sustainability results.
“As a company, we have been addressing sustainability for more than a decade, but we recognized the need for a bolder and more comprehensive step cementing our standing as industry leaders and encouraging others to set and achieve their own goals,” Don Roper, vice president of sales and marketing for Honeybear Brands, said in a news release. “We established goals addressing the biggest challenges in the industry, including pollinator health, packaging, food loss and climate.”
Honeybear Brands recently published its 2021 sustainability report showcasing the company’s progress toward identified goals in year two, according to the release. Positive strides toward all markers were achieved and the company is on pace to reach its goals, the company said.
