Minimizing our environmental impact is a vital part of our mission on the planet. We are actively committed to reducing, recycling and reusing on set, in our office and in our lives.
Our Beliefs
We believe in harmony and treating each other with dignity and respect. That is the mantra when choosing our suppliers and that is the same approach, we great our clients.
Decency and respect to the people close to us as well as the ones we don’t know yet. This circle of positive energy is important for all our productions. If it is in human relations or in the way we treat our planet, it all comes down to the same in the end.
Carbon Neutral Productions
We have a set goal of being carbon neutral by 2030 for all our productions, but this is only possible with the support and collaboration from our clients.
For all our productions, we offer to keep a strict eye on the carbon emission, and each production will be measured in accordance with the AdGreen or BAFTA Albert carbon calculators for us to give a full overview of the emission on each production.
With these tools, we can make suggestions on how to help decrease the CO2 emission thoughout the production. Furthermore, we work together with AdGreen and BAFTA certified Off-Set schemes, in order to compensate for the emission of each production, making it carbon neutral.
We are trained by both BAFTAalbert and AdGreen in Sustainable Production
We believe in green productions and in taking care of our planet. If it is at work or in pour private life, and this is a philosophy we like to encourage our staff to follow as well.
