Verified production case

The Drama: from film carbon reporting to production benchmarking

The Drama extends ISO 14067-aligned film production carbon reporting by introducing CO₂e per shooting day as an additional operational reading alongside CO₂e per minute of screen time.

This shifts the focus from reporting a single footprint toward making productions more interpretable in relation to operational activity, production scale and comparability.

CO₂e per shooting day as an operational reading

Within the Green Toolkit reporting structure, the supplementary indicator kg CO₂e per shooting day complements the declared unit kg CO₂e per minute of screen time by making the same production dataset easier to read in relation to operational activity.

This does not replace the existing reporting basis. It adds an operational reading that helps relate production emissions to schedule intensity, production scale and shooting activity.

Green Toolkit workflow

Making production benchmarking practically usable

Green Toolkit structures production data in a consistent way so that the same underlying dataset can support both standardised carbon reporting and operational benchmarking from the same underlying dataset.

This makes it possible to move from isolated reporting outputs toward comparable production readings across categories, workflows and future project portfolios.

Why this becomes usable
01

Structured data foundation

Green Toolkit organises production information in consistent categories so that the same dataset can support both reporting and operational interpretation.

02

Multiple readings from one dataset

The platform enables multiple readings from the same production dataset instead of requiring separate structures for each output.

03

Benchmarking across productions

This creates the basis for comparing productions operationally and for building usable cross-project benchmarks over time.

Verification

Independently verified production carbon footprint

The product carbon footprint of The Drama has been independently verified under ISO 14067 by GUTcert (AFNOR Group), confirming the reporting methodology and the underlying production data.

Progress over time

Production carbon reporting milestones

The collaboration between A24 and Green Toolkit evolved from initial carbon reporting into a structured production dataset supporting verification, comparability and future reporting needs.

2023

Carbon reporting introduced

Production-level carbon reporting was first introduced within A24 productions, establishing the initial data collection and reporting structure.

2024

Mother Mary — ISO-aligned verification

Mother Mary became the first ISO-aligned feature film with a product carbon footprint verified through a third-party audit.

2024

Adoption across the production slate

Green Toolkit was used across multiple A24 productions, standardising data collection practices.

2024–2025

Unified emissions dataset

Production emissions data was harmonised across projects and reporting tools, forming a consistent dataset within Green Toolkit.

2026

The Drama — verified production footprint

The Drama extends the established reporting structure with an independently verified product carbon footprint, including both declared units for reporting and operational interpretation.

Reporting readings

Two reporting readings from the same production dataset

The same verified production data can be read either in relation to the finished film or in relation to operational production activity.
