We believe sustainability should not be a collection of individual actions but an ongoing conversation between our team, clients, and the companies we partner with, to find doable solutions to the problem.
We have approached this with baby steps, and we are proud to share the results of our recent achievements with you. We are always keen and open to suggestions so, please don't be shy.

Free water
At Street Studios, we think free things should remain free. To help us to reduce our carbon footprint, we have removed the still glass water bottles from our provisions fridges and asked our staff to ditch the plastic water bottles.
We have purchased a fancy water filter machine from Thirsty Work and refillable glass bottles for our clients to have crispy fresh water every day, any day, for free.

Just One Tree
We know that offsetting our carbon footprint alone is not the answer, but it should be an integral part of the way we do business.
Our clients have the option to contribute £1 per shoot to Just One Tree, and we will match their donation. With each shoot, we will be planting two trees together.

Giggler Apple Juice
Grown in Tim's Orchard at Grove Farm in Suffolk, apples are grown in the pesticide-free land of the Chapman family.
They are hand-picked, pressed, and bottled on-site to create the perfect Giggler juice. Each bottle travels only a hundred miles to the studio in Tim's van, fiercely guarded by Ronnie, his springer spaniel.

Catering
We partner with Wolf & Lamb, a local catering company that delivers to all our studios twice daily using electric couriers. To minimize waste, we offer individually portioned, compostable meals. We can also provide hot food buffets with traditional cutlery, plates, and glasses.

We are proud to offer a selection of delicious provisions from planet conscious companies, such as Tonyschocoloney, Real crisp and The Curators. Please read about their inspiring work.

Electricity and gas
Our Electricity is provided by Scottish Power, a 100% renewable product for businesses generated directly from Scottish Power's renewable resources across Great Britain.

Food Waste
We have re-introduced food waste bins in every studio. Food waste collected by Hackney council is sent to an anaerobic digestion facility in southeast England, where it’s turned into renewable energy to power homes and biofertiliser to be spread on local farmland to grow crops.
-
Cleaning products
The team are always on the hunt for new products that reduce the impact on our planet. We currently use Fill refill, an eco-responsible, vegan, no chemical, biodegradable refill company. In addition, their products smell damn good.

Green links
We want to share an initiative from AdGreen, the shoot Carbon Calculator. Head over to their website to learn more about what you can do to make your shoot greener.
