Sustainability in the UK Film & TV Industries Resource Map

 
 

In September 2025, I created a Sustainability in the UK Film & TV Industries Resource Map to share widely the resources I have come across since being a part of the sustainability movement in the UK since 2011.

The map includes links to resources for; Social Sustainability & The Just Transition, Education, Training, Consultancy & Toolkits, International Resources for Studios & Productions, Procurement, Reuse & the Circular Economy, Carbon Calculation & Renewable Energy, Climate Resilience & Adaptation, Sustainability Focused Production Companies, Biodiversity & Sustainable Food Supply, Networks & Events, and Climate Inspired Screen Content.

Standards Launched for UK Sustainability Roles for Productions

This work was initiated by me in 2022 from my role as Screen Sustainability Manager for the the Scottish Film & TV industry.

I was able to bring together, and hand my initial work on this topic over to the UK wide organisations; Screenskills, the BFI & Albert in 2023 once the BFI had a Sustainability representative of their own.
