details:
SuperBee is deeply involved in social responsibility efforts. The company operates in Northern Thailand, employing local villagers and paying 20% above the living wage, particularly focusing on empowering women in rural areas. They provide a safe, family-friendly working environment and actively support local community projects. Additionally, SuperBee donates a portion of its profits to global environmental and social initiatives.
While their efforts are commendable, the brand could improve by obtaining more certifications related to labor rights and fair trade.
