Sustainability statement
Less, but
better.
Modeling agencies sell aspiration. That work has a cost — to people, to the planet, to the cultures we draw from. Our commitment is to be honest about that cost, to reduce what we can, and to fund what we can't.
Travel
We default to rail for any journey under 6 hours within Europe. Talents fly economy. We offset the residue we can't avoid through Gold Standard certified projects.
Production
We only partner with stylists and clients who source from existing wardrobe, archive, or rental. New garments produced for shoots must be donated or returned at wrap.
Studio
Our Amsterdam office runs on 100% renewable electricity (Vattenfall green). No single-use plastics. Suppliers chosen for proximity, not just price.
People
Pay parity, mental health support, and The Pledge sit at the centre of everything. We measure the agency's success by the careers it builds, not the campaigns it bills.

Targets are reviewed annually and progress is published in our quarterly transparency report. We treat misses as data — to be reported publicly, not hidden.
Hold us accountable
Question. Audit.
