Why Choose a Certification?
The film industry is evolving, and sustainability is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. Getting certified with Sustainafilms helps your production in multiple ways:
Reduce carbon footprint
Film productions generate significant carbon emissions, from energy-intensive lighting and transport to material waste on set. Sustainafilms certification helps you implement eco-friendly practices, such as using renewable energy, carbon offset programs, and sustainable set designs, to minimize your environmental footprint.
Enhance brand reputation
Audiences, investors, and clients are increasingly favoring eco-conscious brands. Sustainafilms certification signals commitment to sustainability, boosting your brand image, attracting eco-conscious sponsors, and giving your productions a competitive edge in global markets.
Gain competitive advantage
Many governments, NGOs, and film industry stakeholders offer grants, tax incentives, and subsidies for sustainable productions. Being Sustainafilms-certified can help your company qualify for these financial advantages, reducing production costs while meeting regulatory sustainability requirements.
Comply with regulations
Sustainability laws and industry standards are becoming more stringent worldwide. Sustainafilms certification ensures that your company is ahead of environmental compliance, reducing risks associated with future regulations and positioning you as a leader in green filmmaking.

Our Commitment to a Greener Future
At Sustainafilms, we collaborate with industry leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts to establish a practical and reliable framework for eco-friendly productions. Our commitment to sustainability is built on six key pillars
Developing Clear Sustainability Standards
We provide a structured approach to sustainable filmmaking by defining clear criteria for reducing environmental impact in every stage of production.
Promoting Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Use
Film productions consume large amounts of electricity, often relying on diesel generators and high-energy lighting.
Encouraging Sustainable Transportation & Logistics
Travel and transportation account for a major share of emissions in film production.
Minimizing Waste and Single-Use Plastics on Set
Film sets often generate tons of waste, much of which is avoidable.
Fostering Diversity, Inclusion, and Ethical Work Practices
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s also about people.
Collaborating with Global Partners to Drive Change
We work alongside government bodies, NGOs, production studios, and film festivals to create an industry-wide shift toward sustainability.
