With the greatest challenge facing our species, planet, and shared ecosystem being climate change, every organisation should place the implementation of a robust environmental policy at the forefront of all activities, ensuring positive contributions and minimal harm.
Our Commitment
Our dedication to a sustainable future guides our filmmaking approach. Yearly impact assessments and goal setting ensure ongoing reduction and innovation.
Informed Purchasing Decisions
All our purchasing decisions are informed by our commitment to sustainability values, ensuring consistency in our environmental efforts.
Fostering Partnerships for Greener Production
We actively seek collaborations with organisations that share our values or contribute to combating climate change.
Over 50% of our work is now with clients who actively contribute to climate change mitigation and most of our clients have values that are well aligned with ours. We will not work with organisations that don’t have a genuine commitment to improving their impact on the world.
Waste Management
Within our studio, strict recycling policies are enforced to significantly reduce waste. We've embraced refillable water bottles, discourage the use of single use plastics and always aim to use local suppliers.
Our water conservation efforts result in an annual usage of less than 12 cubic meters, which is less than the average family in the UK uses in a week. This is primarily achieved by having low pressure taps and waterless toilets. Onboard our Dutch Barge, we have both a composting and dry toilet. By a long margin, we estimate this makes us the lowest water user of ANY comparable business.
Our Pledge to Net-Zero Emissions
We continually enhance practices and policies to reduce our impact and improve our environment. Every action is taken with our environmental impact in mind, and we actively engage with clients to address sustainability concerns.
Our operations advocate sustainability, and we welcome feedback and ideas from all sources to further reduce our carbon impact.
Transportation Practices
We rigorously evaluate travel's impact to minimise consequences. Since 2016, embracing electric vehicles has been a cornerstone of our eco-friendly travel practices. Electric vehicles or public transport constitute 90% of travel to shoots and meetings, and we prioritise virtual meetings and public transport.
Efficiency Measures
We consistently employ low-energy lighting and timed server power-downs to further enhance our sustainability efforts.
International Projects and Greener Film Production
By combining UK and local teams during international shoots, we effectively reduce emissions and amplify our environmental impact.
