BeeHero Unveils Latest ESG Data, Highlighting Precision Pollination's Contribution to Achieving Global Sustainability
The new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data from BeeHero, the largest precision pollination provider in the world, demonstrates the company’s positive impact in 2023: 629 million bees saved, 1,174 tons of CO2 emissions avoided, and an over 240% increase in acres pollinated.
In June 2024, BeeHero revealed ESG data from 2023 showcasing how its Precision Pollination as a Service (PPaaS) solution contributes to food security, reduced emissions, and the biodiversity and protection of the ecosystem. By enhancing bee colony health and minimizing CO2 emissions, BeeHero is helping to advance global UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to secure the future of the global food supply.
About 75% of the world's food crops rely on pollinators, particularly bees. Their pollination activities are not only vital for food and nutritional security, but also foster biodiversity and ecosystem resilience, aligning with ESG principles of environmental stewardship and sustainable resource management. By prioritizing initiatives that support bee welfare and promote pollinator-friendly and sustainable growing practices, BeeHero actively contributes to preserving ecosystem health, enhancing agricultural sustainability, and fulfilling social responsibilities towards ensuring food security for present and future generations.
Supporting biodiversity and ecosystem protection, BeeHero's technology provides beekeepers with real-time insights into colony health, enabling beekeepers to preemptively address issues and maintain stronger, healthier colonies. BeeHero beekeepers experienced lower average annual colony losses as compared to US annual averages, with 25,190 fewer colonies lost in 2023, equating to approximately 629 million bees saved. This positive impact on bee populations contributes to SDG 15: Life on Land, which aims to protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and stop biodiversity loss. It also ensures growers are equipped with stronger hives, necessitating fewer hives than average for better pollination power.
In 2023, BeeHero provided precision pollination services across more than 140K acres of crops in North America, Europe, and Australia, reflecting an increase of over 240% from 2022 as well as an increase in the variety of crops pollinated, including almonds, apples, cherries, pears, blueberries, and hybrid vegetable seeds such as rapeseed (canola). By optimizing the deployment of healthy bee colonies across the orchards and fields it services, BeeHero leverages its precision pollination technology to enable increases in crop yield and nutritional value, thus supporting SDG 2: Zero Hunger.
BeeHero's precision pollination technology also significantly contributes to reducing emissions by minimizing the need for hive transportation. This is achieved through the utilization of fewer, stronger bee colonies per acre compared to industry standards, requiring fewer hives to be transported and ultimately resulting in reduced CO2 emissions. In 2023, BeeHero’s services prevented 1,174 tons of CO2 emissions, representing a 188% increase from the previous year’s 407 tons saved. In doing so BeeHero is contributing to the vital mission of SDG 13: Climate Change.
“We are proud to showcase BeeHero's commitment to addressing pressing global sustainability challenges through our precision pollination technology. Our data underscores the vital role bees play in ensuring food security, reducing emissions, and safeguarding biodiversity,” said Omer Davidi, CEO & Co-Founder of BeeHero.
