To address any questions, we have compiled the most frequently asked questions about the standard, EcoMuvi’s work, the method of applying the Protocol, and the proposed sustainable development systems.
EcoMuvi is the Accredia-accredited standard for the sustainable development of audiovisual productions. It is a unique and unified standard, recognized across Europe, applicable to all types of audiovisual productions. Its complex yet modular structure ensures maximum adaptability to any audiovisual project while maintaining its universal applicability.
With ACCREDIA accreditation, the EcoMuvi standard and its resulting certificate are validated and recognized throughout Europe. The certification is valid for obtaining optional and/or required sustainability scores from public and private funding bodies at regional, national, and European levels. This includes, for Italy, the Ministry of Culture (MIC), all regional film commissions, as well as private groups, streamers, and broadcasters.
The adoption of the EcoMuvi standard is free of charge and is facilitated through a licensing agreement between EcoMuvi and the production house. Following this, accredited Conformity Certification Bodies, independent from EcoMuvi and accredited by ACCREDIA for the EcoMuvi standard, can provide a quote for their certification services. If requested by the production, EcoMuvi can also supply qualified personnel, such as an EcoMuvi Manager, to implement the sustainability policy during production. In such cases, the cost is tailored to the project’s specific needs to ensure economic sustainability alongside environmental goals.
EcoMuvi has experience working with a wide range of audiovisual productions. To date, EcoMuvi-certified projects include feature films, documentaries, TV and web series, commercials, audiovisual events, and music videos. This applies to both live-action shoots and animation projects.
Yes, we have extensive experience with international co-productions and offer a variety of solutions to ensure compliance with foreign environmental regulations and work cultures.

The EcoMuvi Manager is specialized in providing strategic and operational support throughout the entire production process, from development to post-production, with the goal of enhancing sustainable practices. Our services include sustainability impact assessments, sustainable production planning, resource management on set, achievement reporting, and guiding projects through the sustainability certification process.
We operate on sets of all sizes across the entire Italian territory. European and international co-productions are also common, and in these cases, we can adapt to foreign locations or assemble a tailored team that includes local personnel to ensure greater alignment with the region’s production practices.
Our work is grounded in providing on-set operational support. EcoMuvi Managers immerse themselves in the production environment, becoming part of the crew to ensure seamless integration with all artistic and technical departments. The primary goal of EcoMuvi on set is to minimize the environmental impact while optimizing social and economic outcomes. Although budget savings are not guaranteed, they are frequently a positive result of our efforts in the field.
We provide a comprehensive range of services, including sustainability assessments, strategic planning for sustainable production, and tailored training workshops for the film and audiovisual industry.
The EcoMuvi standard is a unique and universal framework that applies to all audiovisual projects, but our implementation services are fully customizable to meet the specific needs of each production. Whether it’s a feature film, documentary, series, or other audiovisual content, we tailor our support to ensure the best fit for your project’s unique requirements.
The adoption of EcoMuvi is free of charge. The price, on the other hand, for our field operation service, if needed, varies depending on the scope and complexity of the audiovisual project. We offer a range of options and can provide you with a detailed quote after a free initial consultation.
We offer customized pricing based on the size and duration of the project. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and possible discounts.
The certification process for the EcoMuvi standard is overseen by Conformity Certification Bodies (OdC) accredited by ACCREDIA. It begins with a request for a quote, followed by its acceptance, and then proceeds to the planning of field inspections (Stage 01). During this stage, OdC inspectors visit the set, conduct interviews with departments, engage with production, and perform a site inspection. Next, the OdC plan the final wrap-up inspection (Stage 02), where production submits a comprehensive sustainability report, including qualitative and quantitative data covering all impact areas and criteria outlined in the standard. If needed, EcoMuvi Managers assist throughout the process by managing document collection, data processing, and the preparation of the final report.
As soon as possible! The best sustainability outcomes and performance is always linked to proper and timely planning, integrated to all departments’ resource management and shooting schedule. The cost of EcoMuvi’s support is set per project, there is no weekly fee: therefore, to guarantee the most fruitful collaboration and maximise cost and environment-saving opportunities, EcoMuvi can and should be adopted as early as development.
For each production, alongside the certificate, a detailed numerical report is provided, analyzing both the qualitative and quantitative impacts achieved. This allows productions to understand their accomplishments and improve over time. For examples of past results, visit our Achievements page from 2013 to the present.
