ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

Cold Star Media is committed to environmentally-friendly production standards. Creating a sustainable future is core to our values -  both in the themes explored in our productions, as well as how those productions are made.

The company is trained and certified as a carbon literate organisation for the purposes of workplace, education and community projects, having met all the requirements of the Carbon Literacy Standard through the Carbon Literacy Project. We are also registered to create sustainable productions to broadcast-industry approved We Are Albert standards.

To ensure that these values are at the foundation of how a project is delivered, we use a range of tools including a carbon footprint survey to analyse the environmental cost of our projects.

Our approach includes using the albert pre-production calculator to identify any areas of production that might incur a high carbon footprint and then finding ways to mitigate that, including avoiding single use plastics, using secondhand materials where practical and how we might be able to donate any surplus materials after production to other organisations.

To ensure that these values are shared across the production team, we share a green memo so that all team members can play a role in finding new ways to reduce the carbon footprint of our work.

Cold Star Media uses renewable energy sources and electric transport, along with sourcing materials from suppliers committed to sustainable production standards.
