scott's promise

Our obsession with doing better—for Our People, Our Planet, and Our Partners.

 What is Scott’s Promise?

At Hilltop, Scott’s Promise is more than a set of values—it’s our obsession with doing things better. It’s a commitment that runs through everything we do, from how we treat people to how we protect the planet and support the bees who make it all possible.
Born at a kitchen table and built with purpose from day one, Scott set out to create a business that does things properly—not just efficiently, but responsibly, fairly, and transparently.
With Scott’s Promise, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. We question everything, we challenge shortcuts, and we constantly look for ways to improve. Because when it comes to making honey, we’re not just passionate—we’re proudly obsessed with doing it right.
Honey that's so good, you'll join the Honey Head revolution too.

Our people

Putting people first—with care, respect, and purpose.
Hilltop is a family-run business, and that shapes how we treat everyone we work with. Whether it’s our team in Newtown or our partners around the world, we believe happy, supported people are the foundation of any great business. That’s why we:
✅ Ensure fair, safe and healthy working conditions
✅ Build a strong sense of community across teams and regions
✅ Support local and global charities through meaningful partnerships
✅ Hire and develop highly engaged teams who live the Hilltop values

Our partners

Fostering trusted, transparent partnerships built to last.
Behind every bottle of Hilltop honey is a global network of passionate people—from beekeepers and suppliers to our retail partners and loyal customers. We don’t take those relationships for granted. That's why we:
✅ Fair, long-term relationships with trusted suppliers
✅ Ethical practices across every part of the supply chain
✅ Clear, honest communication with our customers
✅ A culture of collaboration, not compromise

Our planet

Driving action to protect the environment for generations to come.
 We’re lucky to work with nature every day—and we don’t take that lightly. As a brand that depends on healthy ecosystems, our obsession with doing better means constantly reviewing how we source, produce, and package our honey to reduce impact. Here’s how:
✅ 100% recycled and reusable packaging by 2030
✅ Net Zero Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030
✅ Maintaining our Zero Waste to Landfill status
✅ Always sourcing in socially and environmentally responsible ways
real honey, done right.

why it matters

Plenty of brands say they care. At Hilltop, we’re obsessed with proving it. Scott’s Promise is how we hold ourselves accountable—every decision, every day.
We’re also proud to be the UK’s first B Corp Certified honey brand. That means everything we do—from sourcing to packaging—is independently measured against the highest standards for social and environmental impact.
We go beyond making great honey. We’re here to create a business that’s better for everyone it touches.
 From Scott, Our Founder
“Hilltop began with a simple idea: to make great honey, honestly. But as we grew, so did my responsibility—to the bees, our team, and the people who bring our honey to life. Scott’s Promise is personal. It reflects my own values, and my obsession with building a business that leaves things better than we found them. It's a promise I’ve made to myself—and now to you.”
