At Park Village, our commitment to the environment is more than just a policy; it’s a driving force behind the decisions we make. By harmonising creativity with responsible practices, we ensure that our impact on the world is as positive as the work we produce.
Whether we’re shooting on location or creating an event in our studios, we're dedicated to lowering our emissions through smart, practical actions. From eco-friendly transport solutions and our green studio space to sustainable materials and responsible disposal practices, we ensure that our creative footprint leaves a positive mark on the planet.
We were a proud founding member of the Ad Net Zero steering committee and hosted Ad Net Zero’s recent Global Summit at our studios.
We are a registered Ad Green Levy collector, using their Carbon Calculator to meticulously track and reduce the carbon footprint of every production. Our commitment has earned us a spot as one of the top 10 Carbon Calculator Superusers for two years running.
- ENERGY USAGE All energy used by the studios is generated from 100% renewable sources.
- VENTILATION Specially commissioned Natural and Mechanical Ventilation systems in all studios ensure a comfortable working environment while minimising the studios carbon footprint.
- CARBON OFFSET While accepting that offsetting is a last step rather than a first, we measure and offset the carbon footprint of our productions through our partners One Tree Planted, Carbon Aware Productions and Ecologi.
- TRANSPORT Electric vehicles and cargo bicycles are used where possible for local deliveries. We encourage all team and crew to use greener forms of transport and include cycle racks in our outside spaces.
- WASTE & RECYCLING We partner with Recorra, a zero-to-landfill waste collection company that helps us leave a greener footprint with our business waste used to generate green energy. We recycle paper, cardboard, glass, coffee cups, as well as donating equipment we no longer need.
- CATERING We source local and seasonal produce from carefully selected suppliers such as Natoora, HG Walter, Celtic Bakers and Bethnal Green Fish. More than 50% of our catering menus are vegan or vegetarian and we prioritise chicken and sustainable seafood over beef, pork, or lamb. We use use real crockery and cutlery and biodegradable or compostable disposable food packaging.
- FOOD WASTE As well as distributing left over food to homeless shelters in Camden via our local network, we partner with Olio to ensure any excess food produced at the studios or on location, is offered to families in need.
- WATER We provide filtered water in our studios as standard and encourage the use of refillable bottles.
- PRINTING We ask the team and crew not to print call sheets, creative documents, schedules, scripts or boards, etc. unless absolutely necessary. We use 100% recycled paper when printing.
- CLEANING We use eco-friendly, plant-based, cruelty-free cleaning products in our studios.
