Our Planet: Our Business
A story every business should know
Our Planet: Our Business is a 38-minute online film, which asks the important question: how can the global business community help to tackle the world’s environmental crisis?
Created for WWF by the Emmy® Award-winning Silverback Films, Our Planet: Our Business combines stunning footage from the Our Planet series with visionary interviews of inspirational leaders, like Johan Rockström, Christiana Figueres, Anand Mahindra and Dave Lewis, to show the cost of continuing with ‘business as usual’.
Since launching in 2019, the film has gathered thousands of employees at 300+ screening events in more than 50 countries. A 5-minute edit of the film was created to feed into panel discussions, such as this one at the the World Economic Forum in Davos 2020.
We encourage you to use Our Planet: Our Business to engage your colleagues and peers by hosting a screening of the film within your organisation. The film is available in a variety of languages, and at varying lengths, to enable you to do so.
