It’s time to devote our company, our positive energy, our efforts, our competence and our professionality to help the environment and honour the holy principle of reciprocity: respect for the host, respect for the planet.

We strongly want to lead by example and demonstrate that “together we can”. By reducing and offsetting our carbon emissions we can make the world a better place for all living creatures. Being sustainable and planet friendly is a unique chance to express our core values and give our faithful clients the gear to change and grow together.

We are taking actions, here and now, to create a positive impact over the world, to protect the future of humanity and promote life awareness, because Ariete is You!"

FACTS NOT WORDS

Our planet is facing a critical climate situation and to avoid further destruction of our biosphere, we need to maintain the global warming under 2°C. Ariete is measuring the carbon emissions related to the business, reducing and compensating them, while aiming to become Carbon Neutral in the short term. Further step is going beyond with a stronger climate action strategy to protect the environment and become Net Zero in the near future. We act now for a better tomorrow!

OUR FIRST GREEN STEPS


Aiming to be a carbon-neutral company to fight global warming, we have prioritized targets that can be pursued immediateley while making business decisions based on environmental goals, not just profit. This means measure, reduce and offset the carbon footprint of Ariete production. The final result of carbon neutrality is achieved by the balance between caused and reduced emissions on the one hand and the offsetting of the remaining, unavoidable emission on the other.

8K: THE PIONEER


8K is not only our best goggle ever but our first carbon neutral product. By measuring, reducing and offsetting the carbon emissions of 8k products, we are limiting our impact on global warming while investing in certified carbon offset projects aimed at avoiding and removing carbon from the atmosphere. 

Isn’t amazing?

PRESERVE AND PROTECT

We compensate our carbon footprints with Forest Protection in Para’, Brazil project. It ensures that forests are preserved in the long term and that the protection of forests is given a higher value than their deforestation. We have chosen this carbon offset project in the Amazon forest as this is the place where the trade of natural rubber had started. This is the natural root of our core business, a further sensitive reason to take care of it, save it and become climate neutral.

CLIMATE PROTECTION IN INDIA

Energy produced by solar cells without fossil fuels is considered emission-free. The clean solar energy project in India harnesses the sun to generate renewable energy. It involves the installation of photovoltaic solar panels in three Indian states – Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra – with a total capacity of 225 megawatt-hours. The project saves approximately 329,720 tons of CO₂ per year by replacing electricity that would otherwise be generated in thermal power plants. Enhancing renewable energy production is essential to halt global warming and ensure long-term energy supply.

WE LOVE OUR TERRITORY

We have offset the carbon emissions from the 8K goggles sold since 2022 through a local engagement project at Parco Campo dei Fiori (VA). We committed to restoring the area of Parco Campo dei Fiori damaged by the severe weather that affected the province of Varese in 2020, clearing the territory of uprooted trees and replanting affected areas while respecting the local ecosystem and vegetation. It is no coincidence that we chose this project in Varese, as our company has been proudly based in Varese since 1947. Our contribution to the work at the regional Parco Campo dei Fiori is paired with a climate protection project in India.

ECOLOGICAL, SUSTAINABLE AND CARBON NEUTRAL

The cleanest energy is the one we don’t use. Working with ClimatePartner, we have been assigned “not just a label” but a unique ID and a tracking system to demonstrate our neutrality and allow our customers to get insights into our climate actions, from our total emissions, to our carbon offsetting projects, as well as any additional reduction measures we will undertake in the future.
