The B4 Project
Protecting the UK’s native honey bee
1% for the planet
1% For the Planet was designed to help fund diverse environmental organisations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems. Claudia was particularly attracted to the organisation due to their model of collective action, which proves we can accomplish more together than we can alone. This is reflected implicitly throughout our work, but explicitly through the ‘stronger together’ sign on our Honey Bee coins.
The B4 Project
Inspired by our reconnection with nature in 2020, and Claudia’s own new beekeeping hobby, we are proud to support bee conservation and have partnered with The B4 Project for our first year with 1% For The Planet. This means that every single sale of our jewellery supports the conservation of the native UK honey bee.
The B4 Project is a Community Interest Company, based in Cornwall, representing a group of beekeepers, scientists and entrepreneurs whose aim is to protect the UK’s native honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera.
Our funding specifically supports the Scillonian Bee project.
“Reflecting the importance of connections, a core belief of mine is we are #StrongerTogether, and have a responsibility to look after our planet. I am thrilled to be part of 1% For The Planet and make significant changes to our business to respect our responsibilities to the people and the planet.”
Our Sustainability Journey Continues…
In 2020 we also began introducing the use of recycled silver to create our handmade designs. 75% of our entire range is now made from recycled silver.
We are also currently working towards ensuring all our packaging is 100% recyclable and it as our aim to make this dream a reality by the end of 2023.
At Claudia Bradby, we are firm believers in the power of giving - looking after people and the planet. Just like the bees who rely on each other to survive, we are always looking for ways we can be stronger together, joining forces with incredible organisations and making a difference.
