We solidly believe in operating our business in an environmentally responsible manner and contributing in our small way to a wider collective effort. We actively look at ways we can operate in an environmentally sustainable way that makes a difference to our environment for the future. As a micro business but believe in doing as much as possible to work towards Greener Photography practices and have included excerpts below from our environmental policy: |

We use digital cameras and digital workflows eliminating the hazardous effects of analogue darkroom film and paper development. This reduces paper waste, eliminates the use of water and toxic chemicals in photo production. |

We lower our carbon footprint by working from a home office, reducing our need to duplicate utility costs and travel from home to workplace. |

We use for our electricity 100% wind and solar 'green power' accredited renewable energy. |

We reduce our paper correspondence to clients by preferring email. |

When we do use paper we use Post Consumer Waste recycled stationery for our copying requirements and reduce our waste by reusing and then recycling. |

We use rechargeable NiMH Batteries where possible and recycle our used batteries appropriately by using accredited collection programs. |

We prefer the use of online technology to preview images, reducing unnecessary use of printing and packaging for previewing client images. |

We actively seek work locally and buy locally especially where the supplier is committed to environmental sustainability therefore reducing our ‘product miles’. |

We use in-built carbon offset programs for our broadband and gas usage. |

We actively seek to work with companies who offer environmentally friendly choices to their customers. |
