Our commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is key to FILMIN’s corporate strategy, which is guided by a dedicated framework that aligns with current public policies and initiatives, particularly the 2030 Sustainable Development Strategy.
We promote healthy practices and the professional development of our staff in a respectful and nondiscriminatory environment, integrating equal opportunities and encouraging a good work-life balance.
Our objective is to minimise the environmental impacts of FILMIN’s activities, aligning with international initiatives that promote a circular economy and counteracting the challenges posed by the declared state of climate and environmental emergency. As part of our efforts, we aim to reduce and offset greenhouse gas emissions to achieve climate neutrality.
We work to promote the pluralism and integrity of the content distributed and/or produced by FILMIN.
We want to encourage transparency around sustainability to satisfy the demand for information from all interested parties, increasing their access and involvement.
We work to foster and promote mechanisms that ensure good practice in matters of governance, legal compliance, ethics and security of the information used.
Based on the principles of transparency, accuracy, trust and good faith.
We boost strategic monitoring and intelligence to ensure an innovative, high-quality product.
We analyse and manage the impact of Filmin in our environment to identify opportunities for community development. This includes strengthening local partnerships and actively participating in organisations that promote behaviours and commitments that align with the guiding principles of our Sustainability Policy.

Our figures, achievements and milestones
We’re more sustainable every day

In 2023, we offset 51 tonnes of CO2 in the Ganluo Camp Hydropower Project in the Tibetan region of the Sichuan province in China. We have also collaborated on other projects such as the conservation project in Madre de Dios in the Peruvian Amazon.

Transparency
Our objective is to foster a culture of integrity and transparency.
At Filmin, we have a whistleblowing channel designed to facilitate the swift and confidential reporting of any irregularities that may entail regulatory breaches. This channel is available to all employees, suppliers, customers and any other external person who has knowledge of any situation that may be considered misconduct.
Our objective is to promote a culture of integrity and transparency in which all those involved feel comfortable and safe when providing information on any situation that may go against the values and principles of our organisation.
Communications can be submitted anonymously, ensuring the confidentiality of the information provided and protecting the whistleblower from possible retaliation. All allegations received will be analysed objectively and impartially, and the corresponding measures will be taken to address and remedy any irregularity detected.
We believe in the importance of fostering a culture of ethics and regulatory compliance in our organisation. We encourage all those involved to use our whistleblowing channel to help us maintain a safe, honest and fair work environment for all. Together, we can build a stronger and more reliable organisation for the benefit of everyone. You can access the channel here.
