As creative professionals, we bear responsibility for our environment. Not only in our stories, but also in reality. This year, in SE#12, our focus is to think green and take meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact.
In many areas, we have already digitalised ourselves and are working without unnecessary paper and printing. Last year we decided not to print our annual Final Pitch brochure and created a digital version instead. When offering Serial Eyes Merch we have made sure to work with Berlin-based and green companies. Our new Serial Eyes bag, for example, is made from recycled material. We also developed a survey tool to track our CO2 footprint, which we will send to our organisers and venues. At the end of the year we will analyse it and see how we can improve further.
Sustainability is not just a trend for us—it’s a commitment to align our creative practices with a greater responsibility towards the planet. We believe that storytelling has the power to inspire change, and that change must start with us.
We’re excited to work together with our fellows, alumni, partners, event venues and organizers to do our part in creating a greener, more sustainable future. Stay tuned as we continue to learn, grow, and share our progress.
