Sustainability
We put sustainability at the heart of how we manage and inhabit our physical space, how we use our scarce resources, and how we support the development of sustainable practices by those we regulate.
We support the Irish film and television industry to reduce the environmental impact of production and create content that supports a vision for a sustainable future.
Coimisiún na Meán manages the international partnership for BAFTA albert in Ireland. Irish users can log in / sign up for an account to begin the certification process.

Sustainable Media Ireland
We encourage sustainability in our own work practices as well as in the screen industry in Ireland. We are members of Sustainable Media Ireland, a group which brings the Irish media sector together to learn, share knowledge and experience, and partner on sustainability initiatives and campaigns.
