We created Avallen with the belief that business can work in harmony with nature rather than against it and incorporate the lens of sustainability into every decision we make in the business, from who we bank with to what paper we print our event menus on.

Wild bee populations are in decline around the world, and if they disappear, our very survival as a species will be at risk.

Without our furry little winged warriors, there's no coffee. You can forget about pizza, and say goodbye to avocado on toast for breakfast. There would be no lemonade, no fries or potato chips. No berries, chillies, cucumbers, and, most importantly for us, no apples.

And it's not just the honey bee. We're passionate about the bee's that no one knows about, from the leafcutter bee to Wallace's giant bee.

Transparency and traceability are important words in any industry and they're especially important when you're putting something in your mouth. We work hard to provide evidence for everything we claim from publishing out LifeCycle Analysis and charitable donations to publishing our annual environmental impact.

We be(e)lieve that companies should be a force for good in the world so we try to bee more through sharing knowledge, inspiring others, and using our platform to champion positive change. We want to be the drink of choice for those fighting for our planet and all the beauty upon it.
