Commit, Act, Respect.

At Cinq Étoiles Productions, the commitment to people and to the environment is sincere, tangible, and deeply embedded in our values. In just a few years, we have transitioned from setting ambitious goals to implementing a structured, action-driven strategy for continuous improvement. As producers, we capture the uniqueness of every image, film raw emotion, and explore extraordinary locations or imaginative settings to bring stories to life.

We always seek better solutions to regulate our environmental impact, while protecting and empowering the individuals who contribute to our work. Our sustainability approach is built on two complementary goals: reducing our ecological footprint and ensuring a responsible, ethical, and inclusive workplace for our teams.

Since 2019, we have been working closely with the GoodPlanet Foundation to offset our carbon footprint. With their help, we measure the CO₂ emissions of each shoot, taking into account factors such as shooting days, team size, transportation, travel distances, electricity consumption, set design and overall waste generation. For each project and annual company activity, Cinq Étoiles Productions donates a designated contribution to GoodPlanet, reflecting our focus on accountability and meaningful change.

We have established a dedicated team to oversee and nurture our sustainability strategy. This working group receives regular training in all aspects of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), responsible purchasing, and eco-production, entrusting them to lead the implementation of ethical practices across all of our operations. In March 2024, we completed our first carbon assessment, laying the foundation for effective reduction measures.

We are proud to announce that Cinq Etoiles Productions is now LUCIE 26000 certified – France’s leading CSR label. The LUCIE certification, founded on the internationally recognized ISO 26000 standard, provides organizations with comprehensive guidance on social responsibility: translating ethical principles into actionable policies and enhancing their impact on society and the environment.

We have also earned the EcoVadis Platinum Medal – the highest level of recognition awarded by the global sustainability ratings platform. This places us in the top 1% of companies evaluated worldwide. The EcoVadis assessment includes sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

Our staff is fully trained in VHSS (Health, Safety, and Security) and first aid, along with monthly cybersecurity sessions, to uphold the highest safety standards and stay aligned with the latest security protocols. We do not tolerate any misconduct or inappropriate behavior and provide a dedicated hotline for our teams to report any concerns. If you witness any violations, please contact us at report@5eproductions.com.

We are dedicated to:

- Fostering and preserving the well-being of our teams’ and project contributors’ workplace
- Fighting all forms of harassment and discrimination
- Providing health and safety training
- Upholding responsible, ethical, and transparent governance
- Raising awareness on environmental responsibility and its positive impact
- Encouraging professional growth and development

The regulation of our environmental impact is integrated into our daily operations, optimizing our use of resources:

- Reducing and recycling office waste and production-related materials (sorting, collection, composting, etc.)
- Donating used set materials to artistic and social organizations for reuse
- Renting rather than building when possible
- Selecting our vendors based on their commitment to sustainability, human rights, anti-corruption, and ethical values
- Partnering with sustainability-minded set designers and decorators, and making responsible purchasing decisions
- Offering responsible catering, locally sourced, seasonal, largely vegetarian, with sustainable packaging, reusable bottles, and fresh coffee beans
- Prioritizing eco-friendly transportation options (trains, green taxis, electric vehicles) whenever possible

Cinq Étoiles Productions aspires to drive change, cultivate a responsible future and spread positive impact, one project at a time.
