The PGGB Sustainability Behind the Lens event celebrated its annual gathering this year at Sky Studios Elstree, fostering sustainable practices in the film and television industry.

Its second event, which took place on 6 June – the first one was hosted by Warner Bros. last year – drew significant attention from both professionals and enthusiasts alike. With 30 innovative vendors showcasing their cutting-edge solutions, the gathering attracted around 300 visitors, all keen to explore the latest advancements and strategies for a greener future in media production.

Sky Studios Elstree, renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to sustainability, provided the perfect backdrop for this event. Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with vendors who are at the forefront of sustainable technology and practices. From eco-friendly production materials to energy-efficient lighting and waste management solutions, the range of innovations on display was broad. Amongst the vendors were MEMS Power Generation, Neptune, Time Shift, GeoPura Spotless H2O, and Final Pixel Illumin8.

The PGGB Sustainability Behind the Lens event not only provided a platform for learning and collaboration but also underscored the collective commitment to a more sustainable future. As the industry continues to evolve, events like these play a crucial role in driving positive change and inspiring a new generation of environmentally conscious media professionals.

PGGB deputy CEO Michael Beavan hopes to see “at least one and a half times more vendors and attendees” at next year’s event. “It’s the perfect platform for sustainability players to show their mettle,” he said.

Noel Tovey, MD of Sky Studios Elstree, added: “As the world’s most sustainable film and TV studio, it was fitting for the event to be held here, and it was incredible to see the vast array of green suppliers on site who are equally passionate about the environment and driving forward a greener TV and film industry.”
