We believe the media industry has an influential platform. We're here to use it.
Since 2017, Greener Screen has worked with content creators across all sectors — TV, digital, and film — to reduce their environmental impact. That shift also helped financially: eco-alternatives reduce unnecessary production costs.
We're connected with a global network through BAFTA's Albert, ECCA, Aflamuna, Doc Society, and the Global Storytellers Network — sharing knowledge and cycling local SWANA experience back into international practice. Our goal: a net-zero emissions screen industry by 2030.
