SUSTAINABLE FILMMAKING


Treasure Images commited itself to operate with a low as possible carbon footprint.


We are trying to make a difference in our daily office operation:

Our offices operate almost paperless - to the disliking of our auditors

We practice recycling - or rather try to avoid any unnecessary waste

We practice energy management - use daylight whenever possible and turn off silent energy wasters

Our airconditioners are only used at a absolute minimum - 27-28ºc instead the common 16-18ºc

We practice Car-Pooling / sharing whenever possible - unfortunately public transport is almost none-existent

We allow flexible working hours and telecommuting - no need to spend "hours" in the traffic jam

We also encourage our staff to adapt a low impact living standard and practice common sense conservation on a daily basis - we really don't need all this plastic bags!

Joining a campaign of the
Malaysian Nature Society - All Treasure Images' staff committed to refrain from the consumption of shark-fin products.
