We’re committed to sustainability and ethical practices not just because they’re the “right thing to do”, but because they are essential to our success. By creating a more sustainable and responsible future, we’re not only protecting the environment but also building a better world for everyone.
We’re taking concrete steps to reduce our environmental impact and embrace sustainable practices:
– Energy Efficiency: We have switched to energy-efficient lighting and appliances to minimise our energy consumption.
– Paper Reduction: We are adopting paperless operations to significantly reduce paper usage.
– Transportation Impact: We prioritise using electric vehicles (EVs) for location shoots, which contribute to around a 30% reduction in carbon emissions. We are currently also looking to partnerships with local EV rental companies, to further enhance our eco-friendly transportation.
– Waste Management: Our partnership with Workspace means we take advantage of their comprehensive recycling programs to divert a significant portion of our waste from landfills. We are also committed towards the use of eco-friendly cleaning products in our studio, use rechargeable batteries for electronic equipment and minimise single-use plastics where possible.

– Employee Wellbeing: We’ve established a hybrid work policy for all employees, in order to provide flexibility and promote a healthy work-life balance.
– Diversity & Inclusion: We embrace a diverse and inclusive workplace culture, where almost 50% of our team members hail from minority backgrounds. This rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences fuels our creativity, innovation, and collective growth. We are committed to equal opportunities for all employees, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique talents.

We also engage in volunteer activities, contributing to local environmental initiatives and social causes.
