Climate Partner – Produkt mit finanziellem Klimabeitrag
sustainable management
Our aim is to operate as a sustainable business. To this end, we support specific climate protection projects that also provide vital social support at a local level.
How does our climate protection project work?
Climate protection projects demonstrably save greenhouse gases, e.g. through reforestation or energy efficiency. Independent organisations such as the TÜV monitor the exact amount of the savings. Only projects that require additional financing are recognized as certified climate protection projects.
Climate action at Breitsamer Honig
Breitsamer honey stands for naturalness and craftsmanship. We attach great importance to the quality and taste of our honeys. For each honey, higher quality requirements apply than those specified by the German Honey Ordinance. In detail this means:
1. Calculating the CO2
We record all CO₂ emissions generated within our operations and throughout our products’ supply chain. We reduce all emissions as far as possible. The calculation is based on the international standards of the ‘Greenhouse Gas Protocol’, and the process is certified by TÜV Austria.
2. Reforestation & bee-friendly projects
Until 2025, we have been supporting a forest conservation project in Brazil and Colombia in partnership with ClimatePartner. From 2026, we will continue our collaboration with ClimatePartner and get involved in a new, exciting project in Germany focusing on reforestation and bee-friendly measures.
Further details will follow shortly.
3. Labelling and transparency
Each jar tells you where the honey was harvested, so you can always trace its quality and origin.
Our climate protection projects
We supported the ‘Efficient Stoves in Zambia’ project until December 2025. As part of this climate protection project, efficient stoves are being distributed to households across the country. These stoves are more efficient and better for human health and the climate.
Until 2025, we are supporting the ‘Planting Trees in Germany’ project. This project supports the reforestation and restoration of German forests. This helps to make our forests more resilient to climate change.
Until 2018, we supported the Indian climate protection project ‘Clean Ovens for Raichur’. These ovens use almost 70 per cent less energy than cooking with clay ovens. This meant that the amount of CO₂ emissions we generate was offset locally in India.
