Sustainability Behind The Lens
At Garden Studios, we’ve always believed that the way we do business matters just as much as the work we produce. That’s why we were thrilled to host The Production Guild of Great Britain’s Sustainability Behind The Lens event on 11 June.
This year’s event brought together over 200 PGGB Members, business partners and industry colleagues, along with over 40 cutting-edge eco-friendly suppliers – the highest number the event has seen so far.
We loved chatting with so many of you, as well as welcoming the many vendors into our shiny new Rose stage. After winning the Global Production Award for Outstanding Work in the Sustainability Initiative category last month, we had a chance to discuss the work we are doing with Recollective to reduce and reuse set waste as part of the panel discussions during the event.
What Does Being a B Corp Mean?
Garden is the second sound stage studio in the world to become a certified B Corp, and the first in Europe to gain the accreditation.
Becoming a B Corp means that we’ve undergone a rigorous assessment by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that evaluates companies based on their social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. To achieve B Corp status, a company must meet high standards across these areas, proving that it’s not just in business to make a profit but also to make a positive difference in the world.
Our score represents our commitment to doing things the right way, from how we treat our employees to the environmental impact of our operations.
Moving Forward Together
Our B Corp status is a significant milestone for us, but it’s also just the beginning. We’re committed to continually improving our practices and deepening our impact, both environmentally and socially. We believe that by doing business the right way, we can help create a better world for everyone, starting with the incredible work we do together.
We’re looking forward to supporting PGGB as their Sustainability partner for the year ahead. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us to discuss partnership opportunities.
