GREEN CONSULTING Film & TV
GREEN CONSULTING FILM & TV
Sustainable Film Production with Responsibility
The film and television industry faces the urgent task of working in a more ecologically sustainable way. On the one hand, traditional production methods come with a high carbon footprint and significant resource consumption. On the other, funding bodies, broadcasters, companies, and foundations are increasingly demanding concrete sustainability standards.
As Green Consultants, we support your production in developing and implementing environmentally friendly measures in practical ways—without compromising on quality or creativity. Together, we shape a production approach that meets both ecological and economic requirements. Of course, we won’t achieve Net Zero, a fully balanced carbon footprint, overnight. Naturally, unforeseen developments may arise during production, and some emissions are still unavoidable at present. But every reduction is worthwhile, while at the same time prompting us to rethink processes. This gives you the opportunity to make your production more sustainable and fosters awareness of sustainability among everyone involved. Because Green Shooting is not a passing trend—it is an essential foundation for a future-proof media landscape.
Green Consulting – How We Work
Our Services for Climate-Friendly Film and TV Production
Sustainable Production Planning – Green Consulting from the Start
Even in pre-production, our Green Consulting lays the foundation for an environmentally responsible approach to your planned film production. We analyze existing workflows and develop tailored strategies to minimize energy and resource consumption. This includes, among other measures, the use of renewable energy, sustainable choices for vehicles and materials, and the elimination of single-use products on set.
By revising production planning to include sustainability considerations, many productions can already be made significantly “greener.” In the process, we often uncover hidden potential that can simplify workflows or even reduce costs. Eco-conscious film production doesn’t have to be a cost driver!
CO₂ Accounting and Reporting – Climate-Friendly and Transparent
ound environmental management is based on precise measurement of a production’s carbon footprint and resource consumption. During pre-production, we prepare a preliminary CO₂ balance. This allows us to identify major and minor sources of emissions early on and take initial measures in further planning to avoid or at least reduce them. After production is completed, a final CO₂ balance is drawn up. This provides the most accurate possible overview of total emissions and the biggest emission drivers. More importantly, it gives us a realistic picture of how sustainable the production truly was, documents the success of your measures, and creates a solid basis for continuous improvement.
At the same time, we support you in complying with the ecological standards of the German film industry, which are required for funding as well as for obtaining the Green Motion label. For this, we prepare clear reports for funding applications and internal evaluations. Transparency and traceability are always our top priority.

Eco-Friendly Logistics and Sustainable Mobility – Greener Travel for Film & TV Productions
Transport and travel are among the largest contributors to CO₂ emissions in film and television production. We develop smart logistics and sustainable mobility solutions that significantly reduce the carbon footprint—for example, by using electric vehicles, promoting carpooling, optimizing routing, and choosing eco-friendly accommodation alternatives for cast and crew.
Our approach combines sustainable travel management with organizational efficiency, reducing both costs and emissions—without compromising production schedules or creative workflows.
Sustainable Procurement and Resource Management – Green Shooting with Responsibility
From costumes and props to catering—many areas of film and TV production offer significant potential for savings and sustainability. We support you in making responsible choices for materials and supply chains, such as regional and organic catering, reusable props, or costumes made from sustainable fabrics.
In doing so, we also take into account fair trade products and social standards across the entire production chain. This way, your creative vision remains intact—only more resource-efficient, eco-conscious, and economically sustainable.
Awareness and Training – Bringing Sustainability to Life
A sustainable film production can only succeed if the entire team is on board. Without a clear understanding of the measures in place, a film crew will only partially engage in their implementation. We provide hands-on training for your team in sustainable on-set practices—from efficient energy use and proper waste separation to eco-friendly travel habits. Our practical guidelines and workshops raise awareness of ecological workflows, encourage sustainable thinking, and foster a long-term culture where green film production becomes second nature.
Waste Management and Recycling Strategies – Less Waste, More Sustainability
Film productions can generate significant amounts of waste. We design effective recycling and waste management concepts that minimize environmental impact—for example, by reducing packaging, implementing consistent waste separation, using recyclable materials, and reusing set components. This approach not only delivers tangible environmental benefits but also creates cost savings—ensuring a resource-conscious and efficient film production.
