🐻‍❄️ About Bees & Bears 🐝

Our mission is to channel capital into the sustainable economy to accelerate the transformation and make the world greener. Our goal: to finance one trillion euros in green hardware.

What we do: We make investing in sustainability as easy as financing a new phone with Klarna. Click, click, solar system financed. To achieve this, we work closely with installers and enable craftsmen to remain competitive and attract customers who want to spread the high upfront costs over installments.

🌱 We live sustainability through and through. Not just with our product, but in all our business processes. This starts with carbon accounting, extends through our sustainable procurement, and includes participating in demonstrations during the Global Climate Strike. Our goal is to be a sustainable role model for the companies of the future from day one.
