A good tasting future
Food is why we're all here. It sustains life, spreads joy and brings us together.
But we believe the way the world makes and eats food needs fixing.
Every night, around one in nine people go to bed hungry. meanwhile, one third of our food is never eaten. Add to that over-harvesting, climate change and poor diets and obesity, and it's clear we must do better.
That’s why Unilever has set out our Future Foods ambition, which has two key objectives - to help people transition towards healthier diets, and to help reduce the environmental impact of the global food chain. By working in close partnerships with third parties, we’re driving a global food system transformation.
And Hive is at the global core of this food system transformation.
The Silicon Valley of Food
Hive is a buzzing hub where people from all corners of the world come together to build a better future of food for us all.
Food innovators
We’re a thriving team of food experts, researchers and innovators (not to mention food lovers) working to crack some of the world’s greatest food challenges.
Nestled in the heart of the Wageningen Campus, Unilever is cooking up the products that will help solve them.
Working together
Hive’s unique location inspires researchers and students from Wageningen University & Research to join forces with global startups, knowledge centers and even customers to change the food industry for good.
Building a sustainable future
Our building is good to the core. We designed Hive to be energy neutral, packed with daylight and the optimal place to grow ideas and products. Plus we're proud to be recognised as one of the most sustainable buildings in the world.
#1 in sustainable design
Hive has won two Global Awards for sustainability. We hope we're a trendsetter.
Circular
Wherever possible, our building parts come from recycled or sustainable origins and are designed to be reused in the future.
Solar Powered
Our unique Sun Roof brings indoors outdoors and our people together. And naturally, our building is powered by over 1,800 solar panels and solar cells.
