The Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2010 has commended Footprint “for the ways it is promoting sustainability, both through its film production and through wider company operations.”

The panel said Footprint’s major strength came from “checking all resources and suppliers for sustainable, ethical and responsible policies.” 

Footprint’s travel policy, its commitment to measuring and managing waste and emissions, working to the Code of Best Practice in Sustainable Filmmaking and promoting the benefits of sustainability to the public were also praised in this year’s Queen’s Awards.

Footprint Television has been named as one of the top new creative companies in the South West.

In 2009 Bristol Media published The Top 100 South West Creative Companies League Table – the first ever round up of the major TV, digital, publishing, PR, design and marketing companies based in the region.

Established names such as Future Publishing, Bray Leino and Aardman top the list - but in only our second year of operation Footprint has made it onto the list, destined for greater things over the next 12 months.
