As a company, we have always cared deeply about our impact on our environment. And as a result we continuously strive to lessen any negative impact we have on the environment. Through doing this we hope to provide an example for our competitors to follow.
We believe that at Arena we’re different, because we cut out all the wholesalers and middlemen that add time and money to your flowers, and because we strive to give the best possible experience to our customers. Our buying team purchase Arena’s flowers direct from the growers and from the Westland auction in Holland. They don’t just look out for great deals on flowers and plants for our customers, but also ensure that the flowers we sell meet our ethical policy and quality standards.
Arena Online is driven by a dynamic team, who recognise that their work has an environmental impact resulting from resource consumption, transport, purchasing and waste production. As a consequence of this, the management are committed to continuous improvements in environmental performance and are currently working towards implementing a formal Environmental Management System for environmental good practice.
Our main aims are:
- To meet and, where practical, exceed all relevant regulatory requirements
- To prevent pollution and minimise any adverse environmental effects caused as a result of our activities or products
- To promote environmental awareness throughout the organisation and provide training to ensure that all staff understand their environmental responsibility
- To manage our waste sustainably and recognise our responsibility to recycle wherever possible
- To use resources efficiently in all of our activities.
We are currently working towards the following specific objectives:
- Achieve a measurable increase in recycled waste
- Implement a suitable environmental purchasing policy
- Educate our clients in respect of our environmental policy and objectives
- Develop an internal environmental implementation plan
This policy reflects the aims of top management and is communicated to all employees, partners, suppliers and contractors - the undersigned holds overall responsibility for environmental issues but all of our staff are responsible for the implementation of this policy by the way that they carry out their day-to-day activities.
Arena Online undertake to review this policy on a regular basis, it will be monitored, and, if necessary, revised in the light of new knowledge, legislative or organisational changes and will be updated annually to ensure that it continues to reflect our aims and ensure that our objectives are achieved.
