Today, environmental issues should be high on every company’s agenda, not just those companies with obvious environmental impacts. White Lantern Film aims to minimise our environmental footprint by focusing on the areas in which we have most impact: reducing and recycling waste; using energy efficiently; implementing remuneration practices designed to encourage employees to use public rather than private transport; and promoting environmentally friendly policies in the workplace.

Managing environmental footprint
Monitoring and measuring environmental impacts is very important in managing our environmental footprint. White Lantern Film has a clear environmental policy and objectives, but reporting has been relatively informal to date. In 2008 we aim to develop our system of monitoring and measuring environmental impacts, particularly in relation to paper usage.

Environmental Policy and Objectives
We recognise that we have a role to play in ensuring that we manage our environmental impacts. We also recognise that we have a role to play in communicating good environmental practice outside our company.

Our environmental policy is based on four goals:

1. We will seek to integrate the identification and management of environmental issues within our everyday business practices.
2. We will give full consideration to the management of our key environmental impacts.
3. We will strive to ensure that environmental improvements go hand-in-hand with reduced costs and increased efficiency.
4. Where appropriate, we will use our position as a film and broadcast production company/organisation to promote good environmental practice through our products and services.

In fulfilling our environmental policy we have set ourselves the following objectives:

1. To ensure that we identify and communicate good environmental practice throughout White Lantern Film’s business.
2. To regularly review our policy regarding the use of recycled paper within our businesses.
3. To identify and monitor our energy usage with a view to setting reduction targets.
