SUSTAINABILITY
LONDON'S LEADING SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY OFFICE CLEANING COMPANY
Since the very beginning, the founders of Hive were determined to build a truly sustainable business with environmental stewardship at its heart.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Robust environmental policy sits at the core of everything we do. We are proud to hold eight consecutive years of certification with Planet Mark, which independently measures, assesses and verifies our carbon reduction every year. We have achieved Net Zero status across Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and have made major reductions to our Scope 3 footprint as we continue on the road to full Net Zero across our entire value chain.
Some of Our Green Initiatives
-
Sourcing 100% non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning products instead of harsh chemicals,

Zero-to-landfill waste management,

An electric fleet powered by 100% renewable energy,
-

All this help us remain one of the most environmentally friendly cleaning companies in London.
Single Use Plastic Reduction
Our single-use plastic reduction strategy includes partnering with the Plastic Bank Foundation, switching to Toucan Eco reusable systems, and introducing glass bottle initiatives across our operations.
Community Volunteering Initiatives
We invest directly in the natural environment too and have started 3 volunteering environmental initiatives, Air (Beehives), Land (Hive Wood) and Water (Canal Clean-up)
Every new contract includes adopting a beehive at Kennington Park in partnership with Bee Urban, supporting London's urban bee population.
We have also acquired a parcel of meadow land in Devon — Hive Wood — which we are returning to traditional hardwood forest over the next 15 years as a long-term reforestation and rewilding project.
Our teams are also regularly involved in canal clean-up efforts along the London waterways, from Paddington Basin to Camden Lock.
Our eco-friendly and caring cleaning methods also mean a safer, healthier space for our employees and customers alike.
