Company values
These values guide how we build our platform, engage with clients, and operate day to day, directly supporting our mission and strategic goals:
Collaboration – Partnering to address the dynamic challenges of the industry and sustainable growth
Excellence – Delivering platform innovations that enhance efficiency, workflows, and productivity
Trust – Acting with integrity, accountability, honesty, and high standards of compliance in all interactions
Approachability - Promoting a culture of teamwork, client connection, inclusion, and community spirit
Protecting clients’ IPR
We’ve always prioritised information security. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification offers an added layer of assurance: clients can trust their data is protected by a system purpose-built for the security demands of the media and entertainment industry.
Training the next generation of professionals
We believe the future of VFX and post-production should be as dynamic and diverse as the stories our clients tell. That’s why we joined Pixel Pathway—a pioneering initiative that trains the next generation of creative talent, opens doors for people from all backgrounds, and addresses the industry’s growing skills gap. We’re proud to support this initiative, which reflects our values of inclusion, sustainability, and future-focused innovation.
Community and Sustainability
Oxfordshire has been at the heart of CETA’s operations since our founding. Last year, we proudly sponsored the Witney Music Festival’s Dance Stage to support local talent and give back to the community. We are also proud sponsors of Witney Pride, supporting inclusivity and representation in our local community.
Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in our operational plans and technology strategy—from reducing infrastructure emissions to promoting responsible partnerships. As an EcoVadis-rated company, we continually pursue initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future for the tech and media industries.
