Make every production count.

Evidence-based environmental assessment and certification for film, OTT and media production.

Climactix Global brings evidence-based sustainability intelligence to the entertainment industry — the same assessment discipline applied across our climate risk, ESG, and disclosure intelligence products. Assessing the facility rather than a single shoot? See Studio Sustainability Certification.
Positioning

Sustainability that can be measured.

Film production creates a measurable environmental footprint through travel, energy, fuel, materials, accommodation, catering, water, waste and production logistics. Climactix helps production houses establish a baseline, measure environmental impact, implement reduction measures and produce an evidence-backed sustainability assessment.

01
Measure
Log activity data across every production phase and convert it into CO₂e, water, and waste using a multi-country emission-factor database.
02
Reduce
Identify reduction opportunities — renewable power, waste diversion, low-carbon transport — against a running baseline.
03
Verify
Supporting evidence — invoices, bills, logs, declarations — is reviewed against every logged activity before scoring.
04
Certify
Productions clearing a tier's minimum score and mandatory criteria receive a signed, independently verifiable certificate.
Climactix Sustainable Production Framework™

From registration to a verifiable certificate.

Ten stages carry a production from initial registration through to a certified, evidence-backed impact report.

01
Production Registration
Register the production, production company, country, film type, crew and cast size, and shoot dates.
02
Pre-Production Assessment
A structured sustainability questionnaire covering location, travel planning, procurement, energy planning, and waste planning.
03
Environmental Baseline
Establish a starting baseline for carbon, energy, water and waste before principal photography begins.
04
Production Data Collection
Daily logging of fuel, electricity, travel, accommodation, catering, water and waste across every shoot day — a running log, not a one-shot total.
05
Carbon & Resource Accounting
Activity data is converted to CO₂e using region-specific emission factors, alongside water and waste accounting.
06
Reduction Measures
Reduction measures are implemented and tracked against the live baseline as the production progresses.
07
Evidence Review
Supporting documentation is reviewed against logged activity — receipts, bills, records, declarations, and procurement data.
08
Climactix Assessment
Weighted scoring across eight dimensions produces the Climactix Production Sustainability Score.
09
Certification
Productions clearing a tier's minimum score and mandatory criteria are issued a signed, verifiable certificate.
10
Impact Report
A detailed report documents footprint, evidence coverage, certification outcome, and recommendations for the next production.

Certification Levels

Climactix Green Production certification.

These are Climactix Global certification levels, issued once a production clears a tier's minimum Climactix Production Sustainability Score and its mandatory evidence criteria. They do not imply government or third-party accreditation.

  • + Renewable energy (majority)
  • + Biodiversity assessment
Offset residual emissions and formalize a biodiversity/community program to qualify for Diamond.
Diamond
92+ / 100
≤ 40 kg CO₂e / crew-day
  • + Residual emissions offset
  • + Community impact program
Maintain performance and publish a verified year-over-year improvement plan.

A sustainable production is not a claim. It is a measurable performance.

Climactix Production Sustainability Score™

A weighted 0–100 composite.

Each dimension blends quantitative activity data with qualitative questionnaire responses. Weighting is calibrated per production type and evolves as the underlying methodology matures.

Carbon
30%
Waste
15%
Energy
15%
Water
10%
Procurement
10%
Transportation
10%
Biodiversity
5%
Social
5%

How dimensions are scored. Carbon, water, transportation and waste blend logged activity data with questionnaire responses; energy, procurement, biodiversity and social factors are assessed primarily through structured qualitative review.

Carbon intensity (kg CO₂e per crew-day) is the single largest lever in the composite score, and is the same metric that anchors certification-level eligibility above.

Evidence-Based Credential

We don't certify claims. We assess evidence.

Climactix evaluates the documentation behind a production's activity data — not just the numbers reported.

  • Fuel receipts
  • Electricity bills
  • Travel records
  • Accommodation records
  • Vendor invoices
  • Waste documentation
  • Material procurement
  • Production logs
  • Carbon calculations
  • Supplier declarations
  • Photographic evidence
  • Relevant certificates
