At arena we recognize that everything we do has an impact on the planet we live on, as well as its people.
We strive to help create a future that continues to allow everyone to enjoy swimming and water sports in a healthy environment.
That’s why we’re committed to having a positive impact on you, the environment and our communities, inspired by our passion for sports and life in and by the water, our most abundant natural element.
As a leader in the sports realm our commitment to ‘responsibility’ represents the conscious and effortful way in which we plan to measure our footprint and invest in our planet.
arena’s products are designed to help and inspire people to be active and to move towards the best version of themselves by being healthier and connected to nature.
As part of that philosophy, quality and durability are key considerations in our design process in order to guarantee that our products are long-lasting and don’t need to be replaced frequently, thus reducing waste.
We choose partners who share our values and, like us, invest in both the planet and its people.
We care about the well-being and rights of employees working in the manufacture of arena’s products and are committed to being transparent about our partners and policies.
We support local communities and promote watersports through sponsorship and collaboration with national sports federations, sports teams, and international governing bodies.
We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity ensuring equal treatment for all our employees across the globe.
The arena brand was born in water, and for over 50 years has thrived in its element.
We’ve learned that to do so requires courage, responsibility, and action, and we remain resolute in our desire to give everyone the opportunity of living their deep connection with water: that feeling of freedom and peace, joy and profundity we all experience in and by the water.
To design and manufacture all products in a progressively more environmentally conscious way is a key step in the commitment we have taken.
We are constantly working to develop more sustainable garments and accessories to reduce our environmental impact, while still guaranteeing the same distinctive performance, protection, style, comfort and fit that sets arena apart.
According to recognized international certifications, these sustainable fabric sources include PET plastic bottles and industrial waste such as yarn and chip waste.
By working with recycled PET, nylon, silicone and polycarbonate, we are reducing the use of plastic and petroleum-based resources without sacrificing the benefits and characteristics of the fabrics.
All the elements necessary in the delivery of products to the consumer have an impact on the environment. To reduce this impact, we are now using sustainable materials for our packaging (hangtags, pouches, polybags, boxes, etc.).
FSC® certified cardboard is our choice for most packaging made of paper, and for the vast majority of plastic packaging, we use recycled plastic.
The FSC logo on our packaging ensures that it has been made in compliance with rigorous environmental, social and economic standards, which aim to protect the world’s forests and ecosystems that depend on them and respect local communities and the rights of workers. This choice supports the mission of the Forest Stewardship Council®, an international NGO that has been promoting responsible forest management for over 25 years.
