About us
Our Mission
Green Rider is an actor-led movement, using our contractual and cultural influence to create a fairer and greener TV & film industry.
Artists and productions are using our Green Rider Handshake to reduce pollution on set and promote cleaner ways of working.

Our campaign launch
In 2023, we launched with Equity at the Edinburgh TV festival to widespread press coverage. We released a campaign video and an open letter signed by over 200 actors, including Sir Mark Rylance, Paapa Essiedu, Natalie Dormer, Hayley Atwell, Bill Nighy and Ben Whishaw.
We envision a TV & Film industry where...
1.
Upgrading to cleaner, greener and fairer ways of working is no longer seen as activism, but becomes the norm.
2.
Production is organised around human wellbeing, a fair deal for workers and harmony with the natural world.
3.
We transform long-standing traditions of needless waste and consumption, into becoming a role model for other industries to follow.
4.
Status is not measured by how many resources we consume, but by our contribution to building a fair and healthy world for future generations.
5.
Power and resources are shared fairly, so that star culture no longer allows for bullying, sexual harassment or overconsumption.
