Sustainable Development Production Certification

A holistic, fully accountable roadmap for your next shoot.

A unique certification to ensure and provide evidence of responsible business practices and partnerships

Our mission and belief is that accountability should penetrate the entire filmmaking production process. Our holistic approach offers an all-in-one solution with full reporting and certification, ensuring the integrity of your production.

 

The advertising industry generates more carbon than the entire aviation industry. In the UK alone, that equated to 208 million tonnes of CO₂e in 2022 and yet over 75% of agency pitches now include sustainability credentials questions at RFI stage. Most production teams still can't answer them.

That's not a values problem. That's a commercial one.

Under new EU legislation, large companies are now legally required to report the carbon footprint of everything they buy including how their ads are made. Brands are asking. Procurement teams are asking. And the production companies that can't demonstrate sustainable credentials are losing the work.

Carly Stone, Founder of Planet Positive Production and one of the industry's leading voices on sustainable production, has built a CDP credited course to close that gap giving producers, creatives and brand leads the practical skills, frameworks and action plans to make greener production the default, not the exception.

Sustainability Production for Good:

Reshaping the Future of Advertising, TV & Film

 The CPD-accredited e-learning course with Do Epic Good is now live, a fresh, accessible way for people across production and the wider industry to build sustainability skills. 

 

 Self-paced and delivered in a more conversational, audio- and visual-led format.
