The honey\u2019s carbon footprint is 125 grams per 100 grams of product for 450-gram jars and 130 grams per 100 grams of product for 200-gram jars.

The indicator uses simple colour codes to show the size of a product\u2019s carbon footprint: green means that the product is a low-emission product, while yellow and orange mean that the product has a bigger carbon footprint. We began using the carbon footprint indicator on our Finnish Floral Honey product in summer 2010.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Carbon Wingprint as a future goal<\/h2>\n<p>Honey Group Finland started working on a project related to the <a href=\"https:\/\/hunaja.fi\/yleinen\/hunajayhtyma-on-aloittanut-ekokompassi-hankkeen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EcoCompass project<\/a> in summer 2021. The project\u2019s aim is to improve the environmental responsibility of our operation. One of Honey Group Finland\u2019s goals is to examine the possibility of establishing a Carbon Wingprint. This means studying the jar-by-jar environmental benefits of honey.<\/p>\n<p>Honey has a small carbon footprint, and in practice, the consumption of honey actually has a strong positive impact on environmental health. As a result, the carbon footprint of honey is positive thanks to the pollination that bees perform. The value of the bees\u2019 pollination work is estimated to be up to EUR 60 million in Finland. Using the Carbon Wingprint, we can demonstrate that each spoonful of honey has a positive impact on the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Finnish Floral Honey and Traditional Crystallised Honey jars have CO2e labels, which show the honey\u2019s impact on the climate.
