Sustainability at Nine Elms Studio

Renewable Energy

At Nine Elms Studio, sustainability is at the core of our operations. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and preserving the environment. One of the key aspects of this commitment is our exclusive use of 100% renewable energy. We source our energy from Opus Energy, a part of the Drax Group, known for its dedication to providing clean and sustainable energy solutions. By relying on renewable energy, we significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the fight against climate change.

Renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydro power, ensure that our studio operates with minimal environmental impact. This commitment not only aligns with global efforts to transition to cleaner energy but also sets a standard in the industry for responsible and eco-friendly practices. By choosing Nine Elms Studio, you are partnering with a facility that prioritizes the health of our planet, ensuring that your production activities are as sustainable as possible.

Sustainable Suppliers

We understand that our sustainability efforts extend beyond our immediate operations. That’s why we make a concerted effort to work with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. This holistic approach ensures that all aspects of our business operations align with our environmental values.

  • Catering Services: If your shoot requires catering, we offer services from preferred caterers who use entirely biodegradable packaging. This choice minimizes waste and supports a circular economy, reducing the environmental impact associated with single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials.

By partnering with sustainable suppliers, we not only reduce our own environmental impact but also support and encourage sustainable practices within our industry. This collaborative approach amplifies the positive effects of our sustainability efforts.

A Studio Built with the Environment in Mind

The construction and ongoing maintenance of Nine Elms Studio were guided by principles of sustainability and energy efficiency. Every aspect of our studio has been designed to minimize emissions and maximize resource efficiency.

  • LED Lighting: We have installed LED lighting throughout the studio, including public areas and office spaces. LED lights are highly energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional lighting options, reducing both energy consumption and waste.

  • Sensor-Controlled Lighting: Our desk and public spaces are equipped with sensor-controlled lighting systems. These sensors automatically turn off lights when spaces are unoccupied or when natural sunlight sufficiently illuminates the area. This smart lighting solution ensures that we do not waste energy, further reducing our overall consumption.

  • Energy-Conscious Heating: Heating at Nine Elms Studio is managed with energy efficiency in mind. We constantly monitor and adjust our heating systems to ensure that energy use is minimized without compromising comfort. This careful management of heating resources helps us reduce our environmental impact.

  • Efficient Procurement: When purchasing new products and equipment, we prioritize energy efficiency and sustainability. This approach ensures that all new additions to the studio contribute to our overall goal of reducing energy consumption and environmental footprint.

Nine Elms Studio is proud to be a part of Chocolate Films Ltd, a company that operates under a Net Zero policy.
