Capilano Honey Sustainability Actions

Supports Australian beekeepers

Capilano says it supports more than 600 beekeeping families across Australia. It also says the brand was founded by beekeepers and still works with beekeeping families from across the country. This points to a supply chain built around local honey producers rather than only large industrial suppliers. The company frames this as part of its long-term role in Australian honey production.

Focuses on sustainable apiculture

The brand says it is committed to a sustainable apiculture industry, which means beekeeping and honey production that can continue over time without damaging bee health or the wider system. It also says it wants to support the next generation of beekeepers. This suggests a focus on keeping the industry viable for the future, although the material does not give detailed targets or measurements.

Uses hand-harvested honey

Capilano says its honey is naturally dried by the bees, ripened in the hives, then collected by hand, carefully extracted, tested, and packed. This is a production method the brand presents as part of its quality process. The material does not compare this method with other environmental practices, but it does show that the company relies on a hands-on harvesting and testing process.

Tests Manuka honey content

One product page says Capilano Active Manuka honey is independently tested and certified to contain a minimum of 30mg of Methylglyoxal, or MGO, which is the compound linked to Manuka honey's activity. This is a product-quality claim rather than a broad sustainability claim, but it does show the brand uses third-party testing for at least one honey line.
