Dear reader,

Sustainability is becoming a real part of the way film and television productions are planned, managed and delivered. It is no longer treated as an extra step or a side topic, but as something that increasingly shapes how productions work, especially when dealing with international broadcasters and platforms.

At Framinia Services, we support productions working with major international players such as Netflix, Amazon and Disney, helping them turn sustainability requirements into something practical, structured and workable in everyday production life.

A production is a moving system

Film and TV productions are complex by nature. Crews move constantly, equipment travels from one location to another, sets are built and dismantled, lighting and generators consume significant amounts of energy, and every department contributes, in different ways, to the overall environmental impact of the project. That is exactly why sustainability cannot be treated as a separate exercise. It needs to be built into the production from the beginning, through decisions that involve logistics, transport, materials, energy use, waste management and communication across departments.

From planning to delivery

Our role is to support productions through the full sustainability process, from the early planning stage to the final reporting phase. This includes the development of a Sustainability Plan, built around the actual needs of the production and the way the project will operate on set and across locations. We help identify practical measures that can be applied during filming and make sure those measures are realistic, clear and aligned with the pace of the production.

In day-to-day terms, this often means helping productions work more efficiently with energy, materials, transport and waste. It may involve improving energy management, encouraging the use of LED lighting, reducing unnecessary waste, supporting the reuse of scenic materials, promoting more rational transport solutions, or helping departments adopt clearer working procedures. These are not abstract ideas. They are practical choices that can make a real difference over the course of a production.

Carbon footprint and reporting

One of the areas receiving the most attention today is measurement. Productions are increasingly asked not only to say they are working more sustainably, but also to show it through reliable data.

For this reason, Framinia Services supports productions in the collection of the data needed for carbon footprint calculation, in the analysis of environmental indicators, and in the preparation of final reporting. This gives productions a much clearer picture of their impact and helps them respond in a more organised way to the expectations of broadcasters, partners and certification processes.

People are part of the process

Sustainability on set is not only about numbers, energy or waste. It also depends on people understanding what is expected and being able to apply it in their daily work.

That is why training and information are a central part of the service. Framinia Services provides dedicated materials and training activities designed to help cast and crew translate sustainability goals into practical actions on set. When this happens, sustainability stops being a general principle and becomes something concrete, shared and manageable.

One service, full support

What makes this process work is continuity. Sustainability is much easier to manage when the same approach follows the production from planning through to completion.

Framinia Services can support productions with strategic advice, operational assistance, dedicated sustainability professionals, training, data collection, carbon footprint calculation, sustainability planning, documentation and support during audit or certification stages. The aim is simple: to help productions deal with sustainability in a way that is solid, practical and fully connected to the real demands of the audiovisual industry.

Today, productions are asked to do more than just deliver content. They are also asked to show responsibility, awareness and the ability to work in line with increasingly clear environmental expectations. For this reason, sustainability is becoming part of production quality itself.

At Framinia Services, we help productions approach this process with realism, method and the right level of technical support.
