About Hollywood Goes Green
Providing verifiable, institutional data on the environmental impact of film and TV production to drive industry-wide sustainability.
Our mission
Hollywood Goes Green exists to bridge the gap between creative ambition and ecological responsibility. We translate dense sustainability reports—such as the landmark 2025 ACCELERATE report from BAFTA albert and insights from the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance (S.E.A)—into actionable insights. We believe in transparency and empirical data over greenwashed marketing.
The Core Issues: Direct Answers
Who is driving sustainability in entertainment?
The Sustainable Entertainment Alliance (S.E.A) and BAFTA albert are leading the consortium of companies and organizations focusing on industry advocacy, rigorous data reporting, education, and actionable innovation.
What resources are available for sustainable production?
Organizations like the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance provide the Green Production Guide Toolkit, while BAFTA albert offers next-generation carbon calculators designed to integrate sustainability tracking alongside real-time financial budgets.
Where do production carbon emissions primarily come from?
According to comprehensive 2024-2025 data, the major culprits are air travel, fuel-powered transport, and diesel generators. For context, the UK screen industry alone produced nearly 175,000 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2024.
How can productions effectively reduce their carbon footprint?
Based on recent reporting from over 2,500 productions, actionable steps include cutting flights by 25% (saving 8% of emissions), swapping a third of car journeys for EVs (cutting 5%), switching all mains power to renewables (saving 6%), and eliminating diesel generators in favor of HVO and eventually battery power (removing another 5%).
