📢 Agreement reached on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence 📢 The Council and the European Parliament today reached a provisional deal on the corporate sustainability due diligence directive (#CSDDD), which aims to enhance the protection of the environment and human rights in the EU and globally. The due diligence directive will set obligations for large companies regarding actual and potential adverse impacts on human rights and the environment, with respect to their own operations, those of their subsidiaries, and those carried out by their business partners. 📗The compromise struck today strengthens the provisions related to the obligation of means for large companies to adopt and put into effect a transition plan for climate change mitigation. #duediligence , #humanrights, #environment , #corporatesustainability, #EU, #climatechangemitigation (🔍Source: https://lnkd.in/d95p7Rkb)

Need some tips on making your next Independent production? Check out this panel I moderated a few weeks ago with #FilmIndependent. https://lnkd.in/eeh5Kk5H

Interesting reading especially as a question, how can the built environment respond to the needs of independent content makers? Obviously not the same budgets as large productions, so more collaborations in the recycling and reuse of existing buildings to create catalysts for creativity. Linking to education and industry.

This is what INDIGENOUS sustainability and culture looks like. Exhibit A. https://lnkd.in/gAxjT5gE

What is considered to be "sustainable packaging"? The answer, often, is not that simple. Various materials are used in today's #packaging - plastics, paper, cardboard, aluminum, and glass, each with its own pros and cons. However, it is clear that we need to move towards reusable and recyclable solutions and curb single-use and over-packaging. Here, eco-design plays a key role. Want to know more? Check out this great video featuring eco-design experts discussing the complex system behind packaging and its many roles. Presented by Éco Entreprises Québec and the UQAM | Université du Québec à Montréal, the insights shared in this video are crucial to supporting the transition from a linear to a #circulareconomy. As experts explain in the video, and we agree, "A circular economy would be based on eco-design, industrial ecology, a sharing economy, responsible consumption, and material recycling."

WHAT TO DO WHEN NOTHINGS DOING February 5, 2024 Posted in Uncategorized Edit UPDATE. As you may know from our last post, award-winning actress Sakura Kai (aka Setsuko Tsuchiya) is busy recovering from something non-COVID, presenting more like flu, though more likely one of the 200+ “common cold” viruses, quite possibly rhinovirus (RV). Just as me, the director and retired physician. Or, as I caught it not long after Sakura, and am experiencing the same “sighs and symptoms” — a little wordplay there to lighten the situation — I’m guessing based on my own self-diagnosis. But enough literary lunacy. The subject today is what to do when nothing’s doing, or as the Walrus would say, “Of shoes – and ships – and sealing wax – Of cabbages – and kings- And why the sea is boiling hot – And whether pigs have wings.” Yes, well, that actually is what we do at JET Progress when nothing’s doing for the moment.  In today’s world, I regard any stoppage or slowage as a chance to rest, refresh and retire. So being first actors, Sakura and I have been rehearsing our lines in the various scenes soon to be filmed. And William, too, who, BTW, is also under the weather. There’s never enough time to rehearse, so in some small way, this temporary reprieve is a golden gift. As director, it’s also another opportunity of hearing the dialog read increasingly perfect, creating opportunities for small word-fixes. Fine tuning. It’s also given us time to experiment with our growing list of six studios in Hawaii and Washington state.  And the very fact that JET Progress is a small, closely held, independent production company, means that delays can actually be viewed and used positively, rather than a “thousands per say” filming loss, means such enterprises are indeed a thing of the times, on the cutting edge of film development.  https://lnkd.in/g93ERHNu #JETProgress #OTOSOTU #OnTheOtherSideOfTheUnivrse #SakuraKai #SetsukoTsuchiya #DanielSJanik #WilliamMaltese #movie #film #production #filming #delay #cold #rehearsal #WordFixes #lines #studio #Hawaii #Washington #independent #CuttingEdge #develpment #Ah-Choo

Have you watched Evil Does Not Exist? What did you think of it? so many questions after watching it 🤣 trailer in first comment. The film's captivating storytelling and stunning forest scenes had me hooked from start to finish. However, one line in the film left me feeling upset: "A little pollution won't affect the water." I am sure we are not far from real events, this reminded me of the current sewage contamination in the Thames, and the Marlow Film studio plans in the green belt - we need to really do better 😡 It's amazing how powerful storytelling can be in raising awareness about important issues. If you're looking for another film, I highly recommend The Octopus Teacher. Let's use the power of storytelling to promote environmental awareness and inspire change. #EvilDoesNotExist #FilmReview #EnvironmentalAwareness
