There isn’t a more important subject right now: Green education
Here at Sustainable Hive, there’s no greater privilege than helping to educate our young people about our world. It’s what we know, what we do, everything we believe in.
Involving them, inspiring them, showing them the vital part they have to play in taking care of our planet.
We’re specialists in sustainability, experienced experts in green education and engagement. Here to connect people to create action, by bridging the gaps between schools and communities, and businesses and organisations.
We want to spark imaginations and start conversations. Channelling natural curiosity, harnessing that incredible energy. Making sustainability real and relevant to our young people. Recognising and valuing the contribution they will make.
Because the green education of all our young people will do wonders for all worlds.

OUR PRINCIPLES*
When you care, you can change the world. And we care. About our young people, for our planet. Wearing our expertise lightly, we’re constantly looking for new ways to engage and educate. Always listening, always learning. Everything considered.
We’re thoughtful and thought-provoking. A safe pair of creative hands, following our instincts to chase down progress – with a smile on our face and a sparkle in our eyes.
We’ve all had enough hot air.
We deliver practical, positive community action through green education that’s relevant, relatable, robust. And we do it together, involving everyone, leaving no young person behind. We talk, never lecture.
And while we always have the greater good in mind, we’re on top of every tiny detail. Always. Giving our all to deliver what’s exactly needed. Because we don’t know any other way.
We believe in a better world for everyone, and we work to uplift, as well as educate, our young people. To shine a light, give a voice and spark imaginations. Sharing feelings of hope and optimism and yes, excitement.
And while we’re grounded, down- to-earth, we’re good at what we do and great to work with: trusted peers, critical friends, always true to ourselves. We love what we do and the positive impact we have – on people, in our places.

*That’s who we are and how we behave. Everything you can always expect us to be. But, in the spirit of complete honesty, here’s what we’re not: Egos, fluffy, jargony, pretentious, greenwashy, a closed book.
If we’re ever any of these things, call us out. Please.
