FILMMAKING AND SUSTAINABILITY. AUDIOVISUAL INDUSTRY FACING THE CHALLENGE OF SUSTAINABILITY

A new Course on ESG Sustainability for the Audiovisual Sector is coming next October, and it is addressed to all companies in the production chain. The Course represents Anica Academy ETS contribution to foster awareness, to orient and suggest good skills and practices, in order to take, or carry on, the path towards ESG sustainability.

2024 represents a turning point in the challenge for sustainability. Up to this time, the level of engagement on ESG issues has always been generally referred to the conscience and good will of the operators; but the new EU Directive (CSRD and CSDDD) makes sustainability reporting gradually mandatory for all big companies, thus urging their need to deal with specific international standards. Moreover, the importance of looking at sustainability in its 3 different elements – environmental (E), social (S) and governance (G) – has become more and more crucial.
