Ontario Green Screen

With an aim to reduce the industry’s environmental impact, we launched Ontario Green Screen in 2020. This program was designed to develop tools and resources that will empower Ontario’s film and television industry to adopt sustainable best practices and business models.

Ontario’s production and service providers are proud to make sustainability part of their daily work practices and business models.

Strategic Plan 2023 - 2027

We are proud to present the Ontario Green Screen 2023-2027 Strategic Plan. Ontario Green Screen (OGS) is made possible through a partnership between Ontario Creates, industry, and municipal partners, representing all aspects of the industry across the province. Collectively, we have a shared passion to facilitate sustainable production practices.

We created the OGS Strategic Plan in collaboration with the OGS Advisory Committee and industry subject matter experts. This plan lays out specific, measurable and timely goals for the initiative, over the next four years.

  • We commit to fostering an engaged, diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community that advances and enables sustainable production practices.
  • We commit to informing and educating Ontario’s film and television industry stakeholders about sustainability best practices.
  • We commit to delivering resources, tools, and initiatives to empower individuals to incorporate sustainable strategies and protocols that will help reduce the negative environmental impacts of film production across Ontario.
  • We commit to creating a framework to effectively measure and report on environmental impacts and industry-wide progress.
