Green Production Guide

The tools available in the Green Production Guide, hosted by the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, were created by the studios and industry professionals to help you plan, communicate, implement, and track sustainable production practices on your set, calculate your show’s carbon emissions, or help green your content.

These tools include:

• The PEACH (Production Environmental Actions Checklist) lists sustainable practices that each department can implement throughout production. Go through the spreadsheet tool with each department in prep to start your planning, and then again at wrap to find out what was achieved.
• The PEAR (Production Environmental Accounting Report) is a tool (downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet) used to measure the environmental impact of your production based on the energy used in offices and on stages, the fuel used in vehicles and generators, and the emissions from air travel and accommodations. The PEAR can also report on waste, donations, and other environmentally-impactful purchases.
• The PLUM (Production Lumber Material) worksheet tracks your plywood usage, primarily focusing on Lauan/Meranti, ensuring it is responsibly sourced.

The Sustainable Entertainment Alliance (formerly the Sustainable Production Alliance) is a consortium of the world’s leading film, television and streaming stakeholders dedicated to advancing sustainability initiatives through advocacy, education, and innovation while reducing the entertainment industry’s overall environmental impact.
