MOIN Filmförderung has been advocating an ecological and sustainable change of thinking in the film industry since 2012. We currently work with two complementary initiatives in order to take into account a project's entire value chain: The Green Motion label stands for uniform standards throughout Germany in the area of production, while the Green Filming Badge covers the areas of development, distribution and cinema.
With the Green Filming Badge and Green Motion every production and every person involved contributes to making production processes more ecological and reducing the Co2 footprint.
In a joint effort with representatives from broadcasting companies, production companies, VoD services and film funding agencies, we have developed a new sustainability label SOLELY tailored for the production sector: Green Motion. Kickoff date for the label is January 1, 2022. Participating parties commit to a minimum of ecological standards that include 21 "must haves". A production must meet at least 18 of these requirements to receive the "Green Motion" label.
The Green Filming Badge has been working as a sustainability check for the areas of development, distribution and cinema since April 2020. With the Green Filming Badge all funded productions that are predominantly German-financed and shot in Germany must now meet ecologically sustainable criteria
Here you can find our set of criteria (available only in German) with both mandatory and voluntary green measures:

Hanseatische Materialverwaltung is the main contact point for set building materials and ideas. It is where Hamburg’s cultural institutions, public schools, universities, artists and associations collect the materials they require for their social, ecological or creative projects. HMV collects materials and objects in a central warehouse, thereby creating an open collection that allows for the realization of new ideas – sustainable and creative!
