Environmental Policy

Casual Films is committed to leading the industry in minimising the impact of its activities on the environment. The key points of its strategy to achieve this are:

• Minimise waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.
• Minimise toxic emissions through selection and transport decisions and the source of its power requirement.
• Actively promote recycling both internally and amongst its customers and suppliers.
• Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to the company.
• As clients determine the cities used for video production, our best way to positively reduce transport is to reduce internal transport rather than project transport — so overseas management meetings have been significantly reduced from four times per year to only two.

In both the US and UK, Casual Films rents floor space within a larger office block owned and controlled by a third party, so we have limited control over the environmental impact of those buildings. We therefore focus on the areas we can directly control — keeping internal energy use to an absolute minimum and always seeking to recycle.

Casual Films’ primary corporate social activity is the Casual Films Academy, a pro bono initiative to widen participation in the video industry. Charities considered for involvement with the Academy have typically included environmental charities.
