Our name

Where does the name Bees & Bears come from?

The bee and the polar bear stand as powerful symbols of species extinction and global warming. These two challenges inspire us every single day and are the reason we created Bees & Bears.

Our purpose

Threat to climate and economy

The climate and biodiversity crisis is threatening our future. We now face an unprecedented transformation of the economy. The entire energy infrastructure must be decarbonized and expanded - probably the greatest challenge of our generation.

Capital is one of the major levers to achieve this. However, currently, financing is a bottleneck that is hindering necessary investments and holding back the growth of green technologies. This requires a technical and financial infrastructure for green finance. It is high time to take action.

We live sustainability:

Sustainability has been firmly anchored in the core of our company since day one. We want to be a role model and show how to build a company that is thoroughly sustainable while still being profitable. Here are some examples of how we live sustainability within the company:

Measure and optimize impact

We have the greatest influence through our product. We measure the CO₂ footprint and savings of each object we finance. This key figure plays a crucial role in our strategy.

Consider sustainability everywhere

Whether it's our company bank account, merchandise, or pizza on company expenses - we always try to consider sustainability. And as a startup with tight budgets, that can sometimes be quite challenging.

Transparency

We have been measuring our company's carbon footprint since the day we were founded. We are convinced that carbon accounting will become as standard as financial accounting in a few years. So why not integrate it from the beginning and lead the way?

Conscious purchasing decisions

We strive to keep the ecological impact of our spending and actions as low as possible. Currently, we are working on implementing a shadow CO₂ price in our operations. This means that before each purchase, we consider what the actual costs would be if a reasonable CO₂ price were taken into account. How does this change our decision?

Unlimited vacation days
for activism

We want to build a dedicated team that is passionate about making the world a little bit better. Someone from our team wants to attend a Fridays for Future demo? No problem, we always allow time off for activism.
