Vancouver Film Studios has become the first film and TV production studio in Canada to go carbon neutral.

The company spent a year preparing to meet the carbon neutral challenge, and has implemented a number of new process to reduce their carbon footprint, as well as purchasing carbon offsets.

This podcast features Pete Mitchell, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Vancouver Film studios, and was produced by At Large Media’s Robert Ouimet.

It’s unusual when you get a movement that’s coming from both the bottom and the top….frankly the cost is not as high as everybody thinks, it’s more the uncertainty.

- Pete Mitchell, Vancouver Film Studios

Robert’s notes…

Pete Mitchell makes his accomplishment at Vancouver Film Studio sound simple.

But what he’s done is impressive, requiring determination and passion. As you’ll hear, it also required a certain amount of serendipity.

While it’s good for the environment, Pete Mitchell argues it’s also good for business.

And I think he’s right.

We live in a competitive world, and Vancouver Film Studios is going a long way to differentiate itself from its competitors. They’ve also started an irreversable path within their company, one that will lead them to new technologies and processes that will help the environment even more.

That’s good for business, our community, and our planet.
