Mandated carbon calculations are now coming from funders such as the Canadian Media Fund, Telefilm and their comparables in Europe, along with broadcasters such as CBC, BBC, ITV and Sky UK. As of 2024, a project or co-production will require one in the package. ​​
Having knowledge of the whole production pipeline is key to success in creating an accurate calculation. We know this because we successfully produced the first Canadian film to be Albert certified for sustainable production. What that means is we calculated our carbon footprint, found ways to reduce it and then re-calculated it. That award winning film screened in IMAX at Science North on Earth Day.
​When you Step Into The Green Room, you gain peace of mind knowing your project is being looked at from multiple angles. We work behind the scenes using our new and exciting method of capturing your films carbon footprint, allowing you to focus on the most important aspect of our industry: The image we see on the screen.
"Sustainability isn't about creating no carbon.
It's about finding the places you can reduce it
and offsetting for the places you can't."
- Steve Belford
Our commitment
Nature is one of the biggest influences in our lives. It's where we go to escape and seek answers. To connect and be inspired. It's also a place where we bear witness to the effect of our actions.
​
Nowhere is this more present than in the Arctic circle where in the summer of 2020, Canada's last fully intact ice shelf collapsed off the coast of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut. In this territory, where the north bears roam, the effects of climate change are seen first, however, it's a region of the world that far few see. It's a quickly changing landscape that is being lost forever and which will fundamentally change the future of the planet.
​
By committing to sustainable production practices, we strive to reduce our carbon footprint in any way we can.
