Designed to champion climate action through an actor\u2019s contract, the Green Rider helps actors, their agents and casting directors to ensure more sustainability measures can be implemented on set.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of requests for particular items or modes of transport, the Green Rider calls for good environmental practices to be observed on set, including (but not limited to):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>requesting plant-based catering<\/li>\n<li>using low energy lighting<\/li>\n<li>asking the production company to agree to a \u2018zero to landfill\u2019 policy for its sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aaron Matthews,\u00a0Head of Industry Sustainability for albert, explains the reason for the creation of the Rider: \u201calbert\u2019s aim is to help the TV and film industry transition towards a carbon neutral future, to do that, every person on a production from the producers to the runners needs to know what they can do. The Green Rider is there to help actors, agents and casting directors so that they too can make a positive difference\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re proud to support the Rider with Spotlight CEO commenting: \u201cActors and their agents, alongside casting directors, have a huge amount of influence and they all want help to do more to make our carbon intensive industry more sustainable. The Green Rider gives them a framework and guidance for how to do this.
