ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

wren-agency-rachel-louise-brown-olio-featured-image

CREATIVITY IS AT THE CORE OF WHAT WE DO AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN SOME INSTANCES WE CAN’T ALWAYS CHOOSE THE MOST SUSTAINABLE OPTION. HOWEVER BY MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGES IN THE WAY WE MANAGE OUR PRODUCTIONS, WE AIM TO DO THE BEST WE CAN TO REDUCE OUR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. WE USE AD GREEN’S CARBON CALCULATOR TO PROVIDE DATA ON OUR SHOOTS, AND TO OFFSET THE EMISSONS, WE ARE SUBSCRIBED TO A CARBON OFFSETTING SCHEME WITH ONE TREE PLANTED AN ORGANISATION WHO PARTNERS WITH TREE PLANTING INITIATIVES ACROSS THE WORLD.

THERE ARE SPECIFIC AREAS WE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS TO REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT:

WREN-ES-Transport-1
  • WE ENCOURAGE CREW & TEAM TO CARPOOL OR TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO SHOOTS
  • WE INCENTIVISE SHOOT ATTENDEES WHO ARE ABLE TO WALK OR CYCLE TO SET
  • WE AIM TO USE COURIER SERVICES WHO USE ECO AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES WHERE POSSIBLE, SUCH AS GREEN COURIERS
  • WE AIM TO KEEP PRODUCTION AS LOCAL AS POSSIBLE, MINIMISING THE NEED TO TRAVEL ABROAD, UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR THE CREATIVE

 

WREN-ES-Energy-1
  • OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE TRANSITIONING TO LED LIGHTING WHEN SUITABLE TO THE SHOOT ENVIRONMENT / CREATIVE
  • WE AIM TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY CAMERA AND LIGHTING HIRE EQUIPMENT
  • WE ARE LOOKING TO OUR STUDIO PARTNERS TO USE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

 

WREN-ES-Catering-1
  • ALL CATERING CONTAINERS TO BE RECYCLABLE OR BIODEGRADABLE
  • ALL CREW ARE REQUIRED TO BRING THEIR OWN REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE TO SET
  • WE ARE REDUCING MEAT OPTIONS ON MENUS AND WHERE POSSIBLE OPTING FOR VEGETARIAN / VEGAN OPTIONS
  • WE SHARE SURPLUS FOOD AT THE END OF THE SHOOT VIA THE OLIO APP

 

WREN-ES-Set-1
  • WHERE POSSIBLE WE LOOK TO SOURCE WARDROBE, PROPS, KIT THROUGH 2ND HAND MEANS
  • WE USE THE ONLINE SET / SWAP / CYCLE SCHEME TO PASS ON USED MATERIALS TO OTHERS
  • WHERE DISPOSABLE SET OPTIONS ARE NEEDED WE TRY TO LIMIT WASTE BY PURCHASING BY THE METRE AND RECYCLING POST SHOOT
WREN-ES-Other-2
  • WE AIM TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SHOOT ATTENDEES TO ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL ONLY TO LIMIT THE ABOVE USE OF TRANSPORT/ENERGY/CATERING.
  • WE ADVISE NO PLASTIC SHOULD BE USED ON SET

 

AS WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE EFFECT OF OUR PRODUCTIONS TO THE PLANET, WE WILL LOOK TO OUR NETWORK TO SUPPORT OUR POLICIES AND MATCH / BETTER THE INITIATIVES WE HAVE IN PLACE.
