Your World, Our Mission

It’s important to everyone at Arena Flowers that we are doing the right thing for the world around us and that is why we are the UK’s most ethical florist. Our bouquets are easy activism, delivered with a guarantee that every person and place we’ve touched has been treated with respect, and that we’re doing all we can for many we haven’t.
We are committed to staying ahead in order to create meaningful change. This means thinking years into the future with our day-to-day actions and setting ever more ambitious targets to beat.

The Difference You Make

If you are choosing Arena Flowers, it's likely that you think like us and want to make a difference to the world around you, and for that we are grateful. From the work we do through our brilliant charity partners, who receive a £1 donation from every bouquet because you choose to send our flowers; to how you can personally make a difference by upcycling, recycling or reusing the packaging you receive, every little part helps with making that difference the world needs.

Planting Trees

We partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 with the ambition of planting one million trees by the end of 2021 - a target we smashed before Mothers Day 2021 and we are now committed to have planted two million by the end of the year! The Eden Reforestation Projects simultaneously helps communities and ecosystems to recover from decades of regressive activity. The dedicated project supports local communities to plant and manage mangrove forests on community land. It not only offers long-term employment and livelihood improvements to local communities, but it also protects the vital biodiversity that relies on mangrove forests to survive.

Why we plant mangrove trees

Net Zero

In February 2021, we pledged that we will become carbon neutral by the end of 2021 to become the world's first carbon-neutral flower business. Our ethical approach has never been a box ticking exercise or a marketing initiative, it’s at the very heart of what we do here. We all have a responsibility to take bold action, setting ever more ambitious targets, to reverse the damage and help heal our planet before it’s too late. Find out how we plan to do this via reducing the miles our flowers travel, reducing water usage, conserving energy, working more efficiently and eliminating pesticides.

Packaging

Since 2017, our packaging hasn’t included any single-use plastics. Everything which arrives at your door is recycled, recyclable or compostable; from the recycled cardboard box to the flower food packaging and materials used to wrap our beautiful bouquets.. Everything we send can be reused, recycled, or popped in your compost bin when you’re done with it.

How we're single-use plastic free

A World's First On Waste

We are proud to be the first and only florist in the world to implement a closed-loop waste system. Put simply, where some see waste, we see potential. For example, when our flowers are prepared, all the off-cuts and stray leaves are salvaged and sent to processing plants and paper mills where the real magic happens.

Human Impact

It's important that we do the right thing for not only the planet but the people who live in it. Whether that be the people who work at Arena Flowers, the growers in the flower fields or any of our suppliers we believe in fairness. We value everyone in our supply chain and take full responsibility for their well-being, safety and security.
