The Leaders on Location Forum for Sustainability took place this year, on September 17th, and was presented by the Directors Guild BC, the Locations Managers Guild International, Reel Green™, and the MPPIA Motion Picture Community Initiative. With a series of panels and the MPCI awards, the forum also included a Green Vendor showcase.
The Green Vendor Showcase included five Reel Green™ Vendors: Driving Force,The Reusables,Onstage Cleaning, The Hertz Corporation and The Earth Group, with recycling services for the event provided by Keep It Green Recycling. The Green Vendor fair allowed these leading businesses to showcase their eco-services and products, providing a chance for discussion on their sustainable practices.
