Screen Ireland’s vision - for a vibrant, creative and sustainable Irish film, TV and animation industry, with diverse voices, talent and opportunities, which
speaks to and connects Irish film culture with audiences at home and abroad – guides our approach to sustainability. Our ambition is to inspire and empower our industry to be economically resilient, socially inclusive, and environmentally responsible.
Our new Sustainability Plan is focused on four key themes that are strategically important to Screen Ireland and the Irish screen industry: two are aimed at helping to decarbonise our sector and make it more environmentally sustainable; two are aimed at creating a more inclusive and equitable screen industry. These themes are supported by four ‘levers of change’ that we will use to implement our plan: (1)partnerships, (2) skills, (3) engagement, and (4)incentives. Underpinning everything is governance –beingaccountable and transparent in all we do.
Net-zero
We will decarbonise our own operations and support the screen industry to reduce its carbon impact, with the ultimate aim of getting to net-zero carbon.
Circular
We will reduce our waste and consumption and develop initiatives to enable a circular screen supply chain.
Fair
We will accelerate equal opportunities for all and promote an inclusive workplace culture through a diversity and inclusion plan.
Kind
We will champion wellbeing and mental health and give back to the local communities where we live and work.
Partnerships: forging strategic partnerships and collaborations will enable us to make change happen quickly and at scale.
Skills: training and development will empower people across our industry to drive and deliver change on the sustainability agenda.
Engagement: proactive communication and engagement internally and externally will provide know-how and inspire action.
Incentives: financial and non-financial incentives will help to encourage and reward the right behaviours.
Governance: Accountability and transparency.
