Join a movement that is able to create lasting change
Sustainability is no longer a “nice-to-have.” Productions and suppliers alike increasingly recognise it as a competitive advantage.
Discover how Sustainable Film for Business can help.
What productions expect from sustainable suppliers
At Sustainable Film, we know the film industry’s supply chain is intricate and has a significant environmental impact. Consequently, studios are keen to collaborate with suppliers who can reduce their carbon footprint. Sustainability has evolved from being a mere responsibility to a key competitive edge.
We believe sustainability should be accessible to all in the industry. Therefore, we’re dedicated to providing suppliers with the necessary support and tools to advance in their sustainability efforts.
“Through Sustainable Film for Business, we can help to elevate your brand, making it more appealing to productions by highlighting your commitment to sustainable business practices.”

Sustainable Film conducted a first-of-its-kind supplier survey in late 2023, with the aim of understanding the current state of sustainability in our supply chain.
Here are some findings:
What are the barriers to environmental sustainability?
- financial constraints (49%)
- time constraints (37%)

What will help you to become more sustainable?

What the industry is saying about Sustainable Film
BAFTA albert Suppliers Directory
The BAFTA albert Suppliers Directory represents a collective movement towards a more environmentally responsible film and TV industry. It serves as a trusted marketplace where production companies can source sustainable solutions, from set construction and catering to transport logistics and post-production services.
Sustainable Film for Business is proud to have collaborated on this process and played a key role in developing the criteria, helping to define and refine this vital tool for the industry.
Our auditing process ensures only companies with verifiable sustainability credentials are featured, making it easier for producers to make informed, environmentally friendly choices.
