WE GO GREEN

Let's do it

As a film service production company and Film Fixer, we understand the impact that our industry can have on the environment. That’s why we are committed to being an eco-responsible company and taking steps to minimize our environmental impact.

Remote work tools

Remote work tools for film postproduction, such as video conferencing, online project management platforms, and distributed servers, help team members to collaborate and stay connected even if they are not in the same physical location, which is good for the environment and work spirit.

Mission Statement

Films.Solutions recognises that it has a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review points. We actively encourage customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same on every project we engage in.

Do our part for the environment

Policy aims

Going green is a crucial aspect of our company's operations and we are committed to complying with and exceeding all relevant regulatory requirements. We understand that meeting these requirements is not only important for the environment but also for the well-being of our community.

To ensure that we are meeting these standards, we continually improve and monitor our environmental performance. This means that we regularly review our processes and practices to identify areas where we can make improvements and reduce our impact on the environment.

We are also committed to continually improving and reducing our environmental impacts. This means that we are always looking for new ways to reduce our carbon footprint and minimize our waste. We do this by incorporating environmental factors into our business decisions, ensuring that the environment is always considered when making important decisions.

We also understand the importance of increasing employee awareness and training when it comes to going green. This is why we make sure to provide regular training and education on environmental issues to our employees. This helps to ensure that everyone in the company is aware of the importance of protecting the environment and that they have the knowledge and skills to do their part.

Paper

We are proud to say that we are currently 100% paperless in our office, which means that all our documents and communications are done electronically. This not only saves paper but also makes our office more efficient.

We are also committed to reducing paper usage on our productions as much as possible in the field. This means that we will be using digital scripts and digital call sheets instead of paper copies. Additionally, we will be seeking ways to reduce packaging as much as possible both in the office and in the field.

In addition, we will seek to buy recycled and recyclable paper products wherever possible. By doing this, we can reduce the amount of virgin paper being used and support companies that are environmentally friendly. Moreover, we will make sure to reuse and recycle all paper where possible. This is an easy way to reduce the amount of paper being wasted and save resources.

Energy and Water

we are committed to reducing our energy usage as much as possible. To achieve this, we have implemented a number of measures to minimize the amount of energy we consume.

One of the key ways we reduce energy usage is by ensuring that lights and electrical equipment are switched off when they are not in use. This simple step can make a big difference in reducing our energy consumption. Additionally, we are careful to adjust heating with energy consumption in mind. This means that we only use the necessary amount of heat to keep the office comfortable, without wasting energy.

Another important step we take is to consider the energy consumption and efficiency of electrical products when purchasing or hiring them. We make sure to choose products that are energy-efficient and consume less energy. This helps to ensure that we are not only reducing our energy usage but also being cost-effective.

In addition to these steps, we also encourage our employees to be mindful of energy usage in their daily work. By raising awareness about energy conservation, we hope to foster a culture of sustainability within our company.

Overall, we are dedicated to reducing our energy consumption and minimizing our impact on the environment. By implementing these measures, we are confident that we can make a positive impact on the environment and be a leader in the industry.

Transportation

One of the key ways we are doing this is by reducing our need for travel. By restricting travel to only necessary trips, we are reducing our carbon footprint and encouraging our clients to do the same.

We are also offsetting our production travel by investing in projects that help to reduce carbon emissions. This allows us to compensate for the environmental impact of our travel, and encourages our clients to do the same. We also promote the use of travel alternatives such as e-mail or video/phone conferencing, as these methods are more environmentally friendly than traditional travel.

In addition, we make additional efforts to accommodate the needs of those using public transport or bicycles. This includes providing secure bike storage, and other facilities to make it easy for people to choose greener modes of transport. We also favor ‘greener' vehicles and maintain them rigorously to ensure ongoing efficiency. This helps to reduce emissions, and ensure that our vehicles are operating at peak performance.

Monitoring and improvement

We understand that as a business, we have an impact on the environment and it's our duty to minimize that impact as much as possible. That's why we have implemented several measures to ensure that we are operating in an environmentally friendly manner.

First and foremost, we will reduce the need for travel by restricting it to only essential trips. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also saves on costs. Additionally, we will offset our production travel and encourage our clients to do the same. We will also promote the use of travel alternatives such as e-mail or video/phone conferencing to further reduce the need to travel.

We also comply with and exceed all relevant regulatory requirements to ensure that we are operating within the law. We continually monitor and improve our environmental performance to ensure that we are always doing better. We also incorporate environmental factors into our business decisions to ensure that we are always considering the impact of our actions on the environment.

We also increase employee awareness through training to ensure that everyone in our company is aware of the importance of going green and how they can contribute to the cause. In addition, we review this policy and any related business issues at our monthly management meetings to ensure that we are always on track and making improvements.

Going green is not only the right thing to do for the environment, but it also makes good business sense. It saves on costs, reduces our impact on the environment, and helps to ensure that we are operating within the law.

Culture

Going green is not just a trend, it is a responsibility. In our company, we understand the importance of reducing our environmental footprint and are committed to implementing sustainable practices. We will involve staff in the implementation of this policy for greater commitment and improved performance. We will update this policy at least twice annually in consultation with staff and other stakeholders where necessary.

We will provide staff with relevant environmental training and work with suppliers, contractors and sub-contractors to improve their environmental performance. In addition, we will use local labor, equipment, and materials where available to reduce CO2 emissions and support the community.

By implementing these practices, we hope to not only comply with, but exceed all relevant regulatory requirements and continually improve and monitor our environmental performance. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and the community in which we operate.

common questions

Building a greener business provides numerous benefits for our organisation and for the environment. By implementing sustainable practices, we generate a myriad of benefits including  reduced operating costs, improved employee morale and retention and increased competitiveness.

Understanding our company’s environmental impacts is the first step to take in formulating a sustainability assessment. Identify the scope and boundaries of the assessment, gather data on our company’s environmental impacts, analyze the data to identify opportunities for improvement, set goals and targets for reducing our environmental impact, develop a plan to implement sustainability initiatives.
We want to make sure that sustainability is top of mind for everyone at your company. For example, you can use our quick and easy online tool to help you determine what you want to achieve in terms of reducing your environmental impact. We’ll then work with you to make the goals specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Then we’ll help you involve other employees and partners in the goal-setting process so that we can all work together towards common goals.
There are many things that we do to become more environmentally friendly. We encourage telecommuting and virtual meetings, reduce waste and water usage through energy efficiency and recycling programs, and we use eco-friendly products like recycled paper and greener cleaning products.

We regularly share our sustainability goals and progress with employees through regular updates and meetings. We communicate the benefits of sustainability efforts to employees, such as cost savings and improved working conditions. We share your sustainability efforts with customers and business partners through social media, website, and other channels to raise awareness about our business’s commitment to sustainability. We engage employees and business partners in our sustainability efforts through feedback and suggestion programs.

One of the easiest ways, we measure our success is by tracking our organization’s progress against set goals. We set specific, measurable goals track them using metrics such as energy and water usage, waste reduction, and greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the main challenges we have faced in creating a greener business is the cost of implementing environmentally-friendly practices and technologies. While we believe it is important to reduce our carbon footprint and protect the planet, these efforts often come with a financial cost. We have had to carefully balance our commitment to sustainability with the need to run a financially viable business.
Another challenge has been educating and convincing our team and business partners about the importance of going green. It can be difficult to change longstanding habits and processes, and we have had to work hard to get buy-in from everyone involved.

We created a checklist of the different challenges we thought we would face and organized a plan accordingly. We compared our list with other organizations or experts in our field who have already implemented similar initiatives. We also had to think about the challenges they faced and how they overcame them – for example, would it require additional funding? Involve the various parties that can support the implementation process and create a sense of belonging among employees and business partners who will be affected by these changes.
