Expanding Sustainable Production Practices at Paramount
The filming process as a whole is resource-intensive. It takes a significant amount of energy and materials to build and operate sets, transport people and props, ensure a healthy and safe working environment, and meet the needs of all the people who work on set.
To mitigate some of this impact, sustainable production guidelines have been in place at Paramount Pictures since 2013 and at Paramount Television Studios since 2014. These programs and initiatives keep evolving over time. In 2022, Paramount expanded its use of sustainable production guidelines and hired a dedicated employee to oversee sustainable production initiatives for additional studios and brands.
In 2022, a total of 12 Paramount productions received Green or Gold Seal recognition from the EMA. The EMA Green Seal is a two-tier recognition program honoring progress in sustainable production practices across movies, TV shows, filmed commercials, and print advertising.
Paramount is making significant strides in enhancing its overall environmental performance by addressing the environmental impacts of production. By implementing sustainable production guidelines and continually evolving these initiatives, Paramount has demonstrated a commitment to reducing the resource-intensive nature of the filming process.
