    Overview

    The Screen NSW Green Screen Resource has been developed to provide filmmakers and their suppliers with a comprehensive introduction to sustainability across all aspects of screen production.

    The Resource lists initiatives that can be implemented at each stage of production – Development, Pre-Production and Production, Post-Production and Launch. Within each of these stages are lists of possible sustainability initiatives broken down by department/provider such as Production Office, Construction, Locations, Post-production and Merchandise. 

    Sustainability impacts are evaluated against three key areas: environmental, social and economic or, more commonly referred to as: People, Planet, Profit.

    This resource focuses on environmental sustainability or ‘greening’ and gives consideration to broader economic and social issues.

    Environmental sustainability considerations include:

    • Taking a precautionary approach to environmental impacts
    • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
    • Reducing resource usage (materials, water, fossil fuels)
    • Reducing waste (solid and liquid)
    • Reducing the use of harmful toxic substances
    • Protection, and rehabilitation of local ecological environment (location shoots)
    • Reiterating the demand for sustainable solutions –to cast/crew and third party providers

    • Return on investment for investors
    • Encouraging innovation of sustainable solutions in the supply chain and proving a market for these products and services
    • Reducing costs through resource conservation
    • Reducing costs through reducing waste created
    • Reducing costs through reducing energy consumption

    Social sustainability considerations include:

    • Knowledge and skills transfer into the local workforce, community and industry at large
    • Creation of jobs through supply chain demand
    • Communicating sustainability to the community through demonstrating best practice
    • Leaving a legacy in terms of physical materials, enduring infrastructure, or financial support of community initiatives
    • Playing a part in the fair and equitable distribution of resources and wealth, enacted through procurement decisions
