The production of Jeffrey Walker’s The Portable Door reached an Australian eco-milestone, becoming the first local film to operate under the UK Albert-BAFTA sustainability system.
Designed for productions to both measure and reduce their carbon footprint, the program includes a Carbon Action Plan with criteria across communication and engagement; editorial content; production energy, materials, and waste; travel; and carbon-neutral production.
Environmental organisation Albert awards certification to productions judged to have successfully completed the plan, seen in the form of a badge that often appears in the credits.
The system was introduced to The Portable Door via finance partner Sky Studios, whose parent company Sky aims to be Europe’s first net-zero carbon entertainment company by 2030.
Filming wrapped last month on the adaption of Tom Holt’s six-part fantasy book series, which stars Christoph Waltz, Patrick Gibson, Sam Neill, Miranda Otto, and Chris Pang.

Sarah Tosone is a specialist in environmental management across film and TV production, events and festivals. Here, she talks to those working in the same space in Canada, the UK and the US to see what lessons can be shared with Australia, particularly during Covid-19.
The effects of Covid-19 are still being felt in Australia and around the world with unknown long-term consequences. In our attempts to be safe from this virus, I have noticed an increase of waste has occurred. There’s been a return of single use items, particularly plastic water bottles and boxed lunches. Most of this ends up in landfill, as does PPE (personal protective equipment).
Climate change and environmental sustainability appears to have taken a back seat. It quickly became mandatory for film productions to have a Covid-19 plan, implemented by a Covid-19 department. What a shame the same can’t be said for a mandatory environmental plan,...

Keeping cast and crew safe on set during the pandemic needn’t come at a cost to the environment, argues Sarah Tosone, a specialist in environmental management across film and TV production, events and festivals.
In 2020, we’ve seen unprecedented bushfires followed by a global pandemic that completely shut down the entire film and TV industry. It has truly been a year of challenges.
As an environmental steward working on large feature films, I am aware of how essential it is to acknowledge the connections between the pandemic, climate change and inequalities in the industry, especially as the industry slowly gets back to work. While new procedures and solutions are being created for this ‘new normal’, it is imperative that we continue making progress in environmental sustainability.
UK research suggests just one hour of television produced creates 13.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions – the equivalent of running three homes...
