Sustainability

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Framestore is committed to protecting the environment in the way we operate.  It is our policy to seek continual improvement to lessen our impact on the local and global environment by conserving energy, water and other natural resources; reducing waste generation and reducing our use of toxic materials.  We are committed to environmental excellence and pollution prevention, meeting or exceeding all environmental regulatory requirements, and to purchasing products which have a greater recycled content with lower toxicity and packaging, reducing the use of natural resources.  We are working on reducing our carbon footprint across all our global offices in order to meet our target of Net Zero by 2050.  We aim to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions by 55% by 2030 from our 2023 baseline year.
