Sustainability and Values

Here are some measures we’ve taken to make Green Lens more sustainable:

Energy-Conscious Buildings

We used 70% reclaimed material for studio’s conversion.

Our studios are furnished with repurposed, upcycled, or second-hand furniture and props, sourced to reduce waste and extend material life

We use insulation and draft-proofing in all our buildings 

We use energy & water saving devices

Green Power

Green Lens Studios is supplied with verified 100% renewable electricity through SmartestEnergy Business, rated A+

with a 0g CO2/kWh emissions factor, independently verified by The Carbon Trust. In addition, 5 trees have been funded through

Ecologi as part of our energy commitment, supporting reforestation projects in Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, and Nicaragua.

Low-Impact Transport

We promote cycling and electric delivery options whenever possible - both for equipment transport and crew travel. For city shoots, we recommend cargo bikes or electric cabs and can help with referrals

Recycling & Waste Minimisation

We recycle as much as possible, and are developing a recycling/reuse plan for every shoot, encouraging set and materials donation after projects wrap

We use organic or fairtrade produce wherever possible

Eco-Conscious Catering

We offer a list of recommended eco-conscious caterers to ensure that organic and fairtrade produce is served. We always encourage plant-based and locally sourced food options on set..

Creative Sustainability Advocacy

We regularly host workshops, talks, and exhibitions that champion sustainable artistic practices and invite collaboration across disciplines

Offsetting Through Nature

• To offset our carbon footprint we annually participate in a tree planting initiative

• For very booking made in 2025, we will plant a tree - rooting each creative project in ecological restoration

1% for the Planet Membership

Green Lens Studios is proud to be part of 1% for the Planet, a global network of businesses committed to giving back to environmental causes. Through this initiative we pledge to contribute at least 1% of our annual revenue to vetted environmental organisations working to protect and restore the natural world.

By joining this network we ensure that our sustainability efforts extend beyond our studio operations and actively support projects that drive measurable environmental impact.

Transparency & Roadmap

We’re currently working on:

• Tracking carbon emissions per booking

• Exploring microplastic-reducing laundry options and solar panels

• Migrating digital hosting to renewables.
