Reel Green™ Welcomes Amazon Studios as a New Partner
Reel Green™ is pleased to announce Amazon Studios as a new partner of the Reel Green™ Advisory Committee.
Amazon Studios is the home for talent, creating and producing Original films and television series for a global audience. Original series premiere exclusively on Prime Video, which are available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Amazon Studios also produces and acquires Original movies for theatrical release and exclusively for Prime Video, in addition to producing Original content for Freevee, Amazon’s premium free streaming service. British Columbia is a key production market for Amazon Studios as the home for global originals including The Man in the High Castle and Upload.
As part of the Sustainable Production Alliance, they are focused on advancing change in the industry when it comes to sustainability and green production practices. Additionally, with Amazon’s Climate Pledge, their commitment is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 — 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.
Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019 to build a cross-sector community of companies, organizations, individuals, and partners working together to address the climate crisis and solve the challenges of decarbonizing our economy. The commitments of the pledge are (1) regular reporting – measure and report greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis; (2) carbon elimination – implement decarbonization strategies in line with the Paris Agreement through real business changes and innovations, including efficiency improvements, renewable energy, materials reductions, and other carbon-emission-elimination strategies; and (3) credible offsets – neutralize any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially beneficial offsets to achieve net-zero annual carbon emissions by 2040.
The Reel Green™ initiative is now comprised of 24 industry partners whose support is invaluable. Spearheaded by Creative BC, and funded by industry partners, Reel Green™ helps Canada’s motion picture industry unite to improve production practices and reduce environmental impacts.
