In this episode of Green About Media, guest host Nadia Koski interviews Dr. Catherine Cunningham, founder of Natural Intelligence, as she discusses her journey in creating a sustainable production company.

The discussion covers topics such as emphasizing the need to be in service to the community and nature and designing projects that are complementary and synergistic. Dr. Cunningham highlights the value of reconnecting with nature and understanding one's unique role and contribution to any project. She dives into her unique approach to working with clients, government bodies, and the UN, emphasizing the importance of shared missions and deadlines to create momentum and urgency while also building teams based on reciprocity and sustainability.

Dr. Cunningham breaks down how she has developed CSR projects and the importance of sustainability in production. She emphasizes the need to visit sites and assess their viability, as well as the importance of sourcing locally and making sustainable choices in set design and props.

One of the fundamental pillars in Dr. Cunningham's work is creating a positive and joyful work environment, where everyone feels valued and appreciated. She shares her ongoing projects, including an almanac of animal intelligence and working with elders on storytelling. The talk underscores the idea that human experience and connection with nature are irreplaceable in the creative process.

In this joint episode with IAB Europe, we talk to Data Analyst and Sustainability Manager from IAB Dimitris Beis.

We know just how much of digitals emissions are in the Scope3, but how much of that is tied to programmatic? And how can policy and behavioural changes effect how much energy digital media needs.
