Ethical Commitments & Reforestation
Since 2007, Arasia has been building short supply chains, paying fair prices, reducing our impact (ocean freight, greener web hosting, daily eco-gestures) and supporting community reforestation.
Already 2,338 trees planted thanks to our community 🌿
The terms “ethical”, “responsible” or “respectful” used on this website describe our artisanal approach and our direct partnerships with small workshops. They do not refer to any official labels or certifications.
Our 6 Ethical Pillars
Fair prices & short supply chains
Direct purchases from small workshops (India, Thailand, Nepal, Bali…). Artisans set their prices; no unnecessary middlemen.
Respect for people
Workshop visits, decent working conditions, no child labor. Human-scale partnerships built for the long term.
Ocean freight first
Whenever possible, we choose sea shipping, which emits far less than air freight. Less rush, more sense.
Committed suppliers
Example: Auroshikha (Auroville, India, 1973) supports local employment and social & environmental initiatives.
Greener web hosting
Efficient infrastructure with OVHcloud: lowering emissions and improving energy efficiency.
Everyday eco-gestures
Remote work when possible, sorting/composting, reusing materials, non-polluting cleaners, optimized packaging & shipments.
Reforestation: act now
Together we restore ecosystems and protect biodiversity. 2,338 trees already planted (and counting ✨).
