planting a better future By Mother’s Day 2021, we will have planted one million trees.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020
We started this initiative to reduce our carbon footprint and do good for communities around the world; it’s incredible to see it bloom. We don’t just scatter seeds in the local park or plant the easy ones, either - we spent months finding the perfect partner who could make the biggest environmental contribution.
Working with the Eden Reforestation Project, we plant Mangrove trees in places such as Haiti, Madagascar, Mozambique and Kenya, which not only reach their full maturity quicker for maximum Co2 absorption, but also make a massive contribution to stopping coastal erosion - another big problem for locals and the climate alike. In addition, the success of this initiative helped our entire workforce become carbon neutral a full 12 months ahead of our target and will enable our whole operation to be carbon neutral by the end of 2021.
For every bouquet sold, we plant a mangrove tree that removes over 308kg of CO2 from the atmosphere over the growth life of the tree.
For every order we receive and every email subscriber who joins our community, we plant a tree with Eden; it’s as simple as that. We take great pleasure in knowing what these little (and not so little) bouquets give back and hope our customers do too.
The equivalent of offsetting the average carbon requirements for over 100 Arena Flowers bouquets. ARENA FLOWERS
