To enjoy and protect the sea

"Our passion, our brand and our products are inspired by the marvellous but fragile universe that is the sea. However, the underwater world is not just a theatre where we can pursue our dreams. The sea plays a fundamental role in the balance of our eco-systems, so it was natural that Beuchat would always regard a commitment to eco-responsibility, in the conservation and protection of our oceans, as self-evident.

This approach is materialised by the measures taken within our company and through our support for specialised outside stakeholders who adhere to our own environmental standards."

Neoprene derived from limestone

Our strong commitment is reflected in the choice of materials used for our wetsuits. We use neoprene foam made mainly from a natural element, limestone, which makes it extremely low in petrochemicals (unlike standard neoprene). Within such eco-friendly approach we also minimise the use of chemicals during manufacturing and make sure that as much neoprene loss as possible is recycled.

Research and innovation

"The sea, and in particular the underwater world, is a tremendously demanding environment for both humans and equipment. As specialists, we are fully aware of the importance of the quality of our equipment. High quality is the most important guarantee of performance, endurance and reliability in a hostile universe.

That's why we take the necessary measures at every stage of the design and manufacturing process to ensure our products offer the highest possible quality levels while limiting the negative impacts on the environment."

An internal commitment

"Beuchat’s commitment towards protecting the sea world starts at corporate level where all staff members get involved in the use of a recycling system for paper, cups, plastic bottles and cans. These simple gestures are crucial.

This commitment is also reflected in the implementation of a system for the removal of plastic packaging that is not reusable (for sold equipment).rn"

BEUCHAT SUPPORTS ASSOCIATIONS FOR THE RESPECT OF THE SEA

"In order to sustain and extend its internal commitment, Beuchat engages with those stakeholders who act to protect the sea on a daily basis.rnIt does so by promoting sea-replenishing initiatives and international campaigns such as Mission 2020, but also by supporting organisations acting to preserve the sea as well as documentary series aimed at increasing awareness around the need to protect the oceans.

As we support these major actions in several countries, we have joined a large-scale global movement to ensure an actual impact on the marine environment is achieved"
