At Dirty Looks we are values-led. This means that while we’re passionate about creating stunning visuals, we also care about people and the planet. That’s why we champion indies, are on a mission to reduce our environmental impact, and like to do good things for our community.
Dirty Looks is a Certified B Corporation!
B Corps are businesses that put people and the planet on par with profit. We’re committed to improving our impact on our employees, customers, local communities, and the environment, and playing a role in creating a better economy.
While we are really proud of our achievements so far, we recognise that there is always more to do, that we don’t have all the answers, and we are always learning. However, we’re excited to share some of the steps we’ve taken to reduce our environmental impact.
We’ve partnered with Deep Green, a sustainable data centre company, to repurpose heat from our servers. The captured heat warmed a swimming pool in Devon, reducing emissions and benefiting the community. We are actively exploring opportunities to integrate this nascent
technology across all our operations.
Newly installed Maple Place infrastructure includes per-device, granular and real-time energy tracking. Custom software (currently in development) measures live energy consumption per project, offering clients transparency to optimise workflows, report and reduce their carbon footprint.
We’re tracking our carbon footprint through Climate Essentials and have a carbon reduction plan in place. You can read further about our progress in this case study.
All employees receive two paid volunteer days annually, empowering them to support community projects. Our chosen charity for 2024-25 was In-Deep Taskforce, supporting isolated older adults and children with Special Educational Needs in Westminster.
To inspire a diverse next generation of post professionals, we are collaborating with Access NFTS. We run picture post-production sessions aimed at shaping the industry’s future.
We are advocates for change: we share our knowledge with the film community whenever we can at talks, events and conferences. We are keen to join forces with sustainable filmmakers from all parts of the industry so please get in touch!
