Corporate Responsibility
Energy saving in the office
Pinewood Studios are committed to reducing CO2 emissions wherever possible through a
range of different initiatives such as improved energy efficiency, the development of a
Travel Plan and reduction of waste and increased recycling.
Please help us with this aim by remembering the following tips and hints:
Turn your lights off - modern lights do not need a lot of energy to turn
on. Even if you are leaving your room for 10 minutes it is still worth turning the
lights off.
Don't turn your lights on - If your room is light enough, consider whether you
need the over-head lights on at all.
Un-plug - Many appliances still use energy even when they're turned off. Mobile
phone chargers or laptop adapters can leak more than 20 watts of power if left
plugged in.
Double-sided printing uses 50% less paper
Energy saving features on PCs, printers and photocopiers are enabled
Kettle - Don’t fill the kettle to make a single cup of tea or coffee.
Recycled paper
Buy 100% recycled paper and non-chlorinated. The chlorine used for
bleaching is one of the biggest polluters in the paper-making process.
Manufacturing recycled paper generates 74% less air pollution than
creating paper from scratch and saves trees, water and energy
Junk mail lists - remove your address from junk mail lists, almost 50% of all
catalogues are never opened, yet nearly 62 million trees are destroyed and 28
billion gallons of water are used to produce them every year
Leave the car at home - public transport may not be perfect, but there are
alternatives: why not walk or cycle (if you live close enough), share a lift with a
colleague or use the FREE Pinewood Shuttle bus services.
Longer lasting toners - Economy mode uses up to 50% less toner and prints
twice as many pages as higher quality settings. Printing on both sides slashes the
number of sheets used by 50%.
Heating - ensure radiators are not covered or blocked by furniture or equipment
and turn them down if the room becomes too hot rather than opening a window.
Recycling Centre
Shepperton has a recycling centre which enables us to recycle all paper and cardboard
as well as film, glass and plastics. Every office should be provided with recycling bins for
all paper and card board which will be collected daily along with your general waste.
When you move into your facility, you can expect to find recycling bins for all paper and
cardboard. This will be collected daily along with your general waste.
