Annual EMA Awards Broadcast via Network TV
The EMA Awards recognize film and television programs that convey environmental messages in the most entertaining and innovative ways. We honor producers, directors, writers, actors and musicians who actively express concern for the environment through their productions. This annual recognition serves to inspire other members of the entertainment community to use environmental themes to educate and motivate the public.

EMA Executive/Corporate Board Meetings
EMA has assembled leaders of many of the most influential global corporations in an effort to work together with the corporate world to effect consumer behavior to become a more sustainable model.
EMA Green Seal Program
The EMA Green Seal Award debuted at the 2004 EMA Awards honoring five recipients. The goal is to inform and motivate series television and feature films to earn enough "eco-points" to be awarded the EMA Green Seal (for adhering to a realistic list of environmental guidelines through all phases of production). We have an Office EMA Green Seal program as well to offer solutions to entertainment offices. This year we will establish a common standard of what a “green production” entails by recognizing environmental leadership within the motion picture and television industry, highlighting strategies for sustainable behaviors and practices to be used within production (water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and on-location environmental practices) and ultimately having the EMA Green Seal on all credits and one sheets. We’ll provide real world economic implications of recommendations, quantify and emphasize any cost savings and/or environmental benefits while accomplishing this with an objective certification scheme requiring documentation audited by a third party.
One-On-One Briefings
EMA visits feature film and television producers in personal, one-on-one meetings. We "pitch" specifically tailored story ideas, character arcs and set dressing in an unobtrusive manner to subtly weave environmental themes within existing story lines.
