Creative entities around the world have signed a pact called the Creative Industry Pact for Sustainable Action (the Pact), an aspirational agreement to inspire all organisations and companies in the creative industries to work towards a more sustainable future.
The Pact aims to engage organisations to collectively reduce the negative impacts of production and accelerate a cultural shift toward sustainability. Green Spark Group facilitated the development of the Pact through a multi-stakeholder engagement process by sharing the Pact and collecting feedback from sixty stakeholder organisations in twelve countries. It was developed by the industry, for the industry.
Any organisation in the creative industries, from corporations, public agencies and member-based organisations to film schools and film commissions can endorse and work toward upholding the pledges in the Pact. Organisations that endorse the Pact must agree to share or report on their progress toward the stated goals in even-numbered years.
Organisations around the world that have endorsed the Pact in advance of this launch, include Sim, William F. White International, Circus HR, Portable Electric, IATSE Local 891, IATSE Local 669, Martini Studios (Canada), Vancouver Film Studios (Canada), Scriptation, Connect4Climate, the Environmental Media Association (USA), Albert (UK), Greener Screen (Dubai), WrapZERO and Callsheet Magazine (South Africa). These signatories are looking forward to working on common goals alongside future endorsers around the world to reduce the impacts of the creative industries globally.
