Director Kat Coiro has seen a significant increase in the environmental footprint of Hollywood's production, with the support of Universal Pictures' GreenerLight program, which promotes eco-conscious measures across the production and release. This year, Disney and Netflix launched the Clean Mobile Power Initiative, an accelerator to help the industry ditch diesel generators and make clean-power alternatives more readily available to productions. In 2025, a record 279 films and TV shows received either a Green Seal or a Gold Seal from the Environmental Media Association for their sustainability successes. The Sustainable Entertainment Alliance counts nine entertainment companies in its membership, including Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Netflix, Amazon MGM and A24. Other notable initiatives include the use of batteries, solar and hydroenergy, or hydrotreated vegetable oil to replace fossil fuels and diesel generators, recycled or reclaimed materials used on set, and/or repurposed for other sets.
