Sustainability

Why we care about our impact

We live, work and play in one of the world’s most pristine places – where the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics World Heritage Areas meet.

Every year, we witness the impacts of climate change – coral bleaching events, flooding rains, and more intense cyclones.

 

That’s why protecting our environment is at the core of what we do.

We are proud two-star ecoBiz partners

Through the ecoBiz program, we’ve made big and small changes to reduce costs and waste, improve sustainability, and lower our carbon emissions – and we’re just getting started.

This free program run by Business Chamber Queensland supports businesses of any size to make big and small changes to reduce costs and waste, improve sustainability, and lower carbon emissions.

I recently completed a six-month video mentorship with Kirsty and Suzie, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Their expertise and coaching significantly boosted my video skills and confidence.

The tailored feedback, simple tweaks, and constant encouragement made a huge difference. I highly recommend working with eMotion Video & Media Training!”

Before now, I always saw media engagement as something to endure and react to, rather than an opportunity to promote our work or as an educative tool for our clients. Thank you Kirsty for making me feel more confident when dealing with the media.”
