How Hollywood Studios are Going Green and Making Sustainability a Priority

As concerns about Climate change continue to mount, more and more industries are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints and adopt more sustainable practices. In the entertainment world, major studios are prioritizing sustainability in their productions. From Amazon Studios to HBO Green and Sony Pictures, studios are taking steps to reduce waste, limit emissions, and promote sustainable practices.

HBO Green, for example, has established a program that requires all scripted fiction shows to adhere to sustainable practices, regardless of where they are filmed. This includes eliminating single-use plastics, composting, donating excess food and materials, and reducing emissions by using utility power instead of generators whenever possible. HBO Green also works with nonprofit organizations like Cool Effect to offset any carbon emissions that cannot be eliminated in the production process.

At Sony Pictures, the company’s sustainability and environmental climate plan, “Road to Zero,” focuses on reducing their environmental footprint, with a goal of becoming net zero by 2040 and carbon neutral by 2030. About 75% of the studio’s shows have achieved “sustainable production status,” which is achieved through training, implementing low-carbon impact activities, and meeting recognized industry standards.

Amazon Studios is investing in startups that can help decarbonize their business and working with companies like Moxion, a mobile energy storage product and technology company, to transition from traditional diesel generators to clean energy batteries. These batteries are significantly quieter than diesel generators, reduce emissions, and allow for greater flexibility in shot design and production.

In addition to these efforts, studios are also working to promote sustainable practices in their content, making sure that character behavior and message placements prioritize sustainability. By modeling sustainable behaviors on screen, studios hope to encourage viewers to adopt similar practices in their daily lives.
