Requirements
To quantify the production’s CO2 emissions using a Carbon Footprint Calculator developed specifically for audiovisual productions.

Observations and suggestions
Quantification of the emissions can be done via a tool available online, or via the support of an expert, as long as the study is based on standard ISO 14067 (or similar internationally recognised standards) and it considers the production’s main sources of emission (energy, transportation, accommodation, catering, materials, waste).

Verification procedure
Document verification.
Present proof of calculation through a report or similar document showing a summary of the results obtained (e.g.: a web interface).

Requirements
Production may take further steps, verifiable and assessable by the Verifying Body, designed and customised in relation to the specificities of the project.

Observations and suggestions
Each production has its own specificities and some deserving initiatives may not be considered by the criteria listed above. The purpose of this criterion is to reward such deserving initiatives if they are deemed significant in terms of the environmental and/or social benefits generated. To this end, it is suggested that they be agreed in advance with the Verifying Body.

Verification procedure
Depending on the initiative, present appropriate documents with attached any supporting documents prior to or during the on-set verification. The initiatives referred to in the following criterion are considered valid if implemented before the end of the verification process and can be awarded a maximum of two points.
