nbcuniversal.com: Behind-the-Scenes Sustainability for ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’
Our commitment to environmental stewardship extends to the set and the screen through sustainable production practices. This commitment starts before the cameras roll.
The 2022 Focus Feature film, Downton Abbey: A New Era, embraced a host of environmental practices, including using renewable diesel in generators and vehicles, contacting vendors and suppliers to ensure they had sustainability practices in place, and using sustainable plywood for set walls.
Additional sustainability measures included daily environmental messaging on call sheets, reducing meat in catering, using trains over planes, and reusing sets that have been used since season one of Downton Abbey. The movie was also filmed at Ealing Studios which has switched to 100% renewable energy. These combined measures earned the film a Gold Seal from the Environmental Media Association.
