SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

“THE AVERAGE LONDON ADULT BUYS MORE THAN THREE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES EVERY WEEK - A STARTLING 175 BOTTLES EVERY YEAR PER PERSON. IN TOTAL, SOME 7.7 BILLION PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE BOUGHT ACROSS THE UK EACH YEAR, RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC WASTE.”

STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM UP, IN ORDER TO TRY AND REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE ON OUR SHOOTS, WE PROVIDE REUSABLE WATER BOTTLES FOR ALL CREW AND DISCOURAGE ALL SHOOT ATTENDEES FROM BRINGING SINGLE USE PLASTICS TO SET.

CATERING ON OUR LOCATION SHOOTS IS ALWAYS PRESENTED IN RECYCLABLE AND COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING; WE ALSO ACTIVELY SOURCE CATERING FROM LOCAL SUPPLIERS IN ORDER TO REDUCE MILEAGE ON ANY DELIVERIES.

WE USE GREEN TOMATO CARS AS OUR COMPANY CAR SERVICE PROVIDER, AS WE BELIEVE THEY ARE DOING THE MOST TO ENSURE THEIR SERVICES ARE THE CLEANEST THEY CAN POSSIBLY BE.

BY USING RESOURCES SUCH AS THE CONSCIOUS BEAUTY UNION, WE CAN MAKE SURE OUR BEAUTY TEAM ON SET ARE AS GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE AS POSSIBLE; IN BOTH THEIR APPROACH TO THEIR WORK AND THE PRODUCTS THEY CHOOSE TO USE.
