The Issue

Environmental Resources Management partners with the world’s leading organisations to shape a sustainable future, drawing on over 50 years of environmental and social expertise to turn ambition into action.

We co-create solutions that tackle sustainability challenges, unlock opportunity, and make a lasting positive difference for clients, society, and the planet.

Solutions

The climate emergency is accelerating faster than expected, and our industry contributes far more than its size would suggest.

A single day of filming can match one person’s annual carbon footprint, and a US$70m production can emit as much CO₂ as 3,700 acres of forest absorb in a year.

Sustainability

RESOURCES

We can help you make smarter sustainability decisions through our targeted training, practical online resources and an intuitive CO₂e calculator.

Whether you’re planning, shooting or wrapping, we give crews the tools and confidence to reduce impact, meet obligations and embed sustainable practice on every project.
