Online marketplace Hive has officially launched with a collection of curated brands committed to sustainability and social good. Across all categories, Hive brands and products are guided by the “Hive Five,” a set of curation criteria that revolve around high quality, low impact ingredients, environmentally-friendly packaging, low carbon footprint, and a commitment to social good.
“Hive is creating a new path forward for the grocery and retail industries, at large. Global concerns like climate change, social inequality and food waste are front and center for consumers now more than ever, yet traditional retail has failed to adapt,” said Scott Morris, co-founder and chairman of Hive, in a statement. “Sustainability is more than just a footnote at Hive, it is a core ideology. We have created a destination that brings conscious brands and like-minded consumers together, making it possible to shop by values and make a positive impact at the same time.”
Among the brands represented are Maine’s Grains, 88 Acres, Bjorn Qorn, and Tony’s Chocolonely.
“We are proud to join Hive and be a part of an incredible network of brands,” said Abby Noel Davison, choco extravaganza at Tony’s Chocolonely, in a statement. “At Tony’s, we are working to push the industry to be better and highlight the pervasive problems of chocolate from broken supply chains and sourcing to child labor practices and low wages. We are excited to have a partner that shares our mission-driven ethos and passion for education, connecting us to a larger community of shoppers that live and breathe our brand values.”
