Our sustainability pillars
We believe that sustainability should be a vital part and a core practice in any business.
Social
We strive to reduce our carbon footprint by using eco-friendly equipment and supplies, minimising waste by supporting and looking for resources from other local businesses. Our commitment to sustainability is not just a trend – it's a core value that we aim to uphold in everything we do.
To achieve our sustainability goals, we work with suppliers who share our same core values and source our products locally whenever possible.

How can you help?
At AHart Photography we believe small changes can make big differences! Here are some small things you can do to help:
1. Reduce single-use plastic consumption: Start by carrying a reusable water bottle, coffee cup and shopping bag. Avoid using plastic straws, cutlery and packaging.
2. Use public transportation: Avoid using your car whenever possible. Use public transportation, bike, or walk to your destination.
3. Buy locally sourced food/products: Shop local! Support local farmers and reduce your carbon footprint by buying food that is grown or produced close to where you live.
4. Use eco-friendly cleaning products: Avoid harsh chemicals that can harm the environment and switch to natural cleaning products.
5. Reduce meat consumption: Meat production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Try incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet.
