SSA's Sustainability Supervisor Training: Impact Report
In 2023 and early 2024, SSA members told us that sustainability practitioners were self-educating and getting mixed results translating that knowledge to real productions. There was no clear pathway or standardised role, and no production-specific sustainability training at Head of Department (HOD) level existed anywhere in the world.
This report shares how Australia’s first Sustainability Supervisor program was designed with industry, delivered with global partners, and put five screen professionals into drama, comedy and unscripted productions for 230 days of on-set expertise.
Inside you’ll find participant stories, evaluation data and on-set results, from EVs on screen and HVO and battery power to sets given a second life and greener travel.
