The Thessaloniki Film Festival, after the successful completion of the 3rd Evia Film Project, a developmental environment-oriented program, and being aware of the critical state that the planet faces, continues to take initiatives in order to reduce its environmental impact and to raise awareness for the goals of sustainability.
Taking into account the experience and knowledge gained from the Evia Film Project, the Festival aims to become greener and more sustainable by rethinking, through an ecological perspective, its cultural mission, its operating methods and its daily activities. It aspires to show how arts and culture can take a leading role in the fight against climate change and environmental destruction, but also how we can inspire the public to do the same.
Following a series of green initiatives, TFF has now adopted a comprehensive environmental policy, which supplements and re-contextualizes the overall cultural mission and the values of the organization, in response to the major challenge of our times, the climate and environmental crisis.
This policy constitutes our commitment to join global efforts towards a sustainable future, support the goals of the Paris Agreement and of the EU Green Deal, contribute to Thessaloniki’s role in the “EU mission: 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities”, and comply with Greek environmental legislation and the country’s climate targets.
TFF’s action plan will be regularly revised and re-evaluated and will continue to reflect and support our environmental ambition over the coming years, as we will strive to achieve our goals: understand and minimize our environmental impacts, implement new policies and modes of work across our activities and operations, reduce the organization’s carbon footprint.
