COMMUNITY
- In EPHOTO we believe in the power of collaboration.
We actively involve all stakeholders in responsible business practices steered towards a reduction of the impact on the environment, while promoting a shared welfare.
All together we build a strong and conscious community, and we are ready to make a difference.
ENVIRONMENT
- We have only got one planet, and she is placed foremost in our minds.
While promoting a sustainable lifestyle and business model, we take responsibility for protecting the ecosystem in which we live.
Each action of ours is driven by our commitment to preserve our environment for the future generations.
PEOPLE
- People are the beating heart of EPHOTO.
Our goal is to create an inclusive and stimulating workplace, where anyone feels listened to and have equal possibilities to pursue their professional and personal growth, through both training activities and corporate welfare initiatives.
We are proud to be a certified B Corp : a commitment that goes beyond business
We consider our B Corp certification a meaningful achievement. This endorsement certifies our commitment in meeting the highest social, environmental, transparency and accountability standards. In EPHOTO, we use business activities as a positive driving force that can create value not only for our customers, but for the community and the environment, as well..
What is the meaning of that? The B Corporation certification, licensed by B Lab (a no-profit international organization) is awarded to companies that have successfully passed the rigorous B Impact Assessment (BIA). This process evaluates the positive impact of the company as regards its social, environmental, accountability and transparency performance. In our opinion, this is proof that it is possible to innovate ethically.
Behind each important goal there is a shared vision, long working hours and the drive to make a difference. Our B Corp certification is not an end, but the beginning of a commitment that grows every day.
Lagambiente – The Glaciers’ Caravan
We started supporting the Glaciers’ Caravan years ago. This is an international travelling campaign organized by Legambiente that monitors the “white giants”, aiming at turning the spotlight on the climate crisis.
A talent of ours follows the expert team among the peaks, documenting the beauty and fragility of the scenery with photos and videos; while telling a tale, we can also protect.
Legambiente – Unfolded Sails
Every year we support a volunteering campaign (organized by Legambiente)that brings young people and adults among the islands of the Tuscany archipelago, exploring its marine environment and taking care of it.
We clean beaches that are hardly accessible from land, monitoring waste, sighting marine mammals, checking tracks left by sea turtles of the “Caretta Caretta” species. The photographic and video material produced by us transform each activity into a tale that inspires and raises awareness.
Humana People to People Italy
EPHOTO helps Humana in the realization of photographic contents for their online shop, from art direction to banners, shooting sessions and promo material. When the energy of their corporate events comes alive, we are there to capture it in our photographs and videos.
Through collection and repurposing of second-hand clothes, this organization transform the past into the future, generating a positive impact on both people and the planet. Let’s give a new life to garments and to the story they can tell.
Rise Together Foundation
EPHOTO contribute to the Fair Fashion Market project in collaboration with Rise Together, a foundation that offers support to people in need for care or therapies that would be otherwise financially unaffordable.
We shoot clothes channelled to the second-hand market that are ready for a new story on the “Vinted” app. Each purchase becomes actual help; proceedings support people most in need.
Book Library Farmhouse
We have chosen to support a cooperative organization that creates social inclusion and opportunities, because the value of a business is also measured by their selection of situations to help.
Thanks to this partnership, a weekly dose of fresh energy reaches our studio: a supply of biological fresh fruit, produced locally and delicious. A small action that fuels the wellbeing of people working with us, while promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Small actions can have great impact
We believe that each action is valuable, each conscious choice can make a difference. We have placed distributors of purified water in our studios and our “welcome kit” always includes a flask and a lunch box, because we encourage our staff to be aware of anti-waste habits they could acquire and live every day.
The above is not all! The energy we use is 100% produced from renewable sources and an objective of ours is the reduction of the quantity of waste we produce during our working activities. An example: as regards paper backgrounds we use during shootings, we decided to give them a second life delivering them to specialised paper factories, that take care of recycling and re-using them.
