we are ethical
we are ethical
Even Ducks need an ethical guideline.
Why you may ask?
Well, we all get caught up in our ideas of what is morally right and how we execute it on a daily basis.
As a team however, we want to make sure that we are all on the same page and that every one of us can have a say in how we shape our golden rules of ethicality.
We strive to practice what we believe in and try to make a positive impact on our planet, in our community and especially in our duck pond!
Being an ethical business is a constant challenge. There is no ready-made solution nor is there a to-do list that needs to be checked off, but more a constant work in progress.
We live in a capitalist world and as such, we navigate in a minefield of ethical conundrums.
That is why we need to stay critical of ourselves, check in with each other to stay on track with our vision and to constantly educate ourselves on current relevant topics.
From our processes, to our relationships we attempt to examine every aspect internally and externally of the studio.
All of that with the close watch of our detail-orientated animation team – after all we do animation, we know the art of detail!
