Untold Storytelling

Sustainability Story

Our sustainability journey really started as we've begun to understand the amount of difference we can make through our choices. It's a fallacy that businesses shouldn't be good stewards of the planet, and we work in a field that is known for excessive waste, so we're out to change that. In working towards achieving and maintaining Climate Neutral and B-Corporation certifications, we've also partnered with Water First through 1% for the Planet and developed our own Untold Story Fund. These initiatives are all working towards wanting to make a positive impact. With our clients, we are striving to work with brands and organizations that hold the same values, and are putting people and the planet above profits.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce the energy needs for heating and cooling of our studio space.

How We'll Reduce It

We will purchase and install a high-efficiency heating and cooling system. We're currently investigating options for installing a heat pump system.

What We’re Reducing

We want to develop systems and policies to dramatically reduce waste for productions on set, both those that we manage and those that we are hired on.

How We'll Reduce It

Once we've created a "waste management on set" policy, we'll work with producers on projects to implement meaningful strategies that included reduced waste purchasing (water bottles, etc.), recycling, and food waste.

100%

What We’re Reducing

Since we don't control the utilities in our building, we want to look for ways that we can purchase green energy for our studio.

How We'll Reduce It

We're looking at purchasing power from Bullfrog Power, which is a Canadian organization that puts green energy back into the power grid based on the energy that you use.

50%

What We’re Reducing

As a production company, we often (pre-2020) travel a lot around North America, and the world, for projects. We are aiming to become smarter flyers.

How We'll Reduce It

We have two main goals for this: - Schedule multiple meetings or productions on the same trip. - Reduce the amount of equipment that we're travelling internationally and work to see what we can rent locally for production.
