A studio for today that is shaping tomorrow

Sustainability

Woven into the fabric of everything we do

Finding sustainable solutions and reducing climate change impact are core values across every aspect of Garden Studios’ operations. We are here to help productions minimize and reduce their footprint and surpass their environmental commitments.

For productions, partners and the planet

01
Reducing, reusing and recycling production materials
We have instituted an extensive program of film production material upcycling, reuse and recycling and have seen a dramatic impact in waste reduction. We facilitate donations of our productions’ set material, props and textiles into our local community via an extensive network of partner organisations.
02
Invested in renewable electricity, recycling and the reduction of waste
Our focus has been to establish benchmarks for energy and water consumption, waste generation, and carbon emissions and we see the positive environmental impact that Virtual Production delivers. To address our commitment to sustainability, we initiated several impactful initiatives.
03
Engaging and partnering with the local community
We have prioritised sustainability, inclusivity, education, innovation, and accessibility. We are invested in our local community and are continuously working on finding new ways to engage. From local staff hires, and suppliers to local artist commissions, we are proud to be an accredited London Living Wage Employer.
04
Striving for equity, inclusion and diversity
We have a key focus on education, fostering talent and technology, with the ambition to become London’s home for creative talent in film. We do this with respect, grace, openness and full access. We are here to help amplify the voices of the future. We are always striving to do more.
