Green The Bid launches The Complete Green Service Company Production Manual

Providing a comprehensive breakdown on sustainable practices for international production companies, Green the Bid has launched The Complete Green Service Company Production Manual. Designed with a handful of industry partners and featuring contributions from some, the manual acknowledges the specificity of applying sustainable practices and supporting staff, crew and vendors on a local level.

“In my view, the sheer existence of this manual will raise awareness among agencies, brands and production companies regarding just how much can be done to support sustainable productions overseas. Until now, this is an option that has not been given wide consideration. There is so much potential here, and I find it so exciting,” commented Pavla Burgetova Callegari, managing director and executive producer of global for Compass Rose.

"Input from the production trenches in dozens of countries makes this manual for sustainable production a uniquely valuable industry resource. Sensible suggestions of how to communicate objectives and the associated costs to industry stakeholders are fundamental to the decisions already impacting live action filming abroad," says Production Service Network EP & Co-Founder, Michael Moffett. "At PSN, we're especially pleased to have contributed input from our boots on the ground partners in dozens of countries. The result is a set of practical guidelines for production service companies which also enlightens brands and agencies about all that is required, and all that can be achieved when we're all doing our part."

Compass Rose is amongst the design partners and contributors to the manual, which also includes Miranda Romero, sustainability production consultant for The Lift, Mexico, as well as Production Service Network (PSN) and Global Production Network (GPN). The manual will feature a number of strategies and guidelines on how to encourage environmental responsibility regardless of the shoot location. Compass Rose, PSN, The Lift and GPN also serve as resources and contributors for the manual along with Boogie Films, Le Grand Danois, Green Eyes Production and Nicocorp.

"Embracing sustainability on production sets is not just an option; it is an urgent necessity for our planet's future,” explains Miranda Romero, Sustainability Production Consultant for The Lift. “As members of the creative industry, we have the opportunity to minimize our ecological footprint, inspire change, and pave the way for a more sustainable tomorrow."
