Awareness Efforts
Quantum Creation FX, Inc. is committed to making socially/environmentally sensitive decisions where we can. We feel environmental responsibility saves money and reduces waste. It's good business sense. Most importantly, we realize our actions impact our employees, our environment, and extend to our international community.
Our Steps:
Quantum's studios are powered through a special program offered by Burbank Water and Power called the "Green Energy Champion Program."
We participate at the "Bronze" level. This means that 15% of our energy use must be generated from green sources.

Our Goal for 2013 is to purchase carbon credits to off-set Quantum's environmental footprint.
Much of our office technology is Energy Star rated which is a primary criterion when purchasing new equipment.

Our long distance provider, CREDO, allows us to donate 1% of our monthly telephone bill to social and environmental causes of our choice.
In addition, CREDO donates 1% of its annual profits.

Many of our daily office supplies and cleaning products have little or no chemically harmful ingredients. We use 100% bio-degradable/compostable products when possible.
