MERA
Media Environmental Reporting & Assessment
MERA is La Tribu Verde's tool for creating and managing a production's sustainability plan, collecting its data and preparing the information needed to work with different screen industry standards.
One production. All its information. Whichever standard applies.
Centralise the data once and organise the project according to the requirements of Green Film, BAFTA albert, EMA and the Green Production Guide.
The information is the same. What changes is how you are asked for it.
A production generates data on transport, accommodation, fuels, energy, materials, waste, documentation and evidence. The problem is that this information usually ends up scattered across invoices, spreadsheets, emails, folders and documents from different departments.
On top of that, each platform, standard, certification scheme or funding call may ask for that same data in a different way.
MERA means you don't have to organise the production from scratch for each methodology.
- Invoices
- Transport orders
- Travel
- Accommodation
- Fuels
- Energy
- Materials
- Waste
- Evidence
Upload the information once. MERA prepares it for whatever each production needs.
The production company always collects data and documentation in the same way. MERA centralises, structures and organises it within a single project.
From there, the information is prepared according to the standard, platform, certification or requirement that applies to that production.

One way to collect the data. Different outputs for each production.
Where applicable, data can be prepared for tools such as the albert Carbon Calculator, Media Carbon Calculator or PEAR, among others, which remain the official tools of each standard.
Final certification, validation or recognition is always the responsibility of the body behind each standard. MERA is an independent tool and is not affiliated with these organisations.
All of each production's sustainability, in one place.
The production company has a digital space for each production where it can check at any time what has been planned, what has been done, what information is missing and what documentation is available.
Sustainability plan
Goals, measures and owners.
Monitoring
Status of the measures during the production.
Environmental data
Transport, energy, fuels, accommodation, materials, waste and other project information.
Carbon footprint
Activity data and results organised for the applicable calculator.
Evidence and documentation
Invoices, photos, certificates and supporting documents linked to each measure.
Reporting and certification
Information prepared according to the applicable standard or requirement.
Less time organising information. More control over the production.
Enter data once
No more entering the same information into different spreadsheets and documents.
Everything in one place
Sustainability information is no longer scattered across people, emails and folders.
Monitoring during the shoot
See what has been done and what information is still pending.
Ready for each standard
The same data is organised according to the requirements that apply to the production.
Traceability
Every figure and piece of evidence keeps its source document.
The company keeps the knowledge
Knowledge and documentation stay centralised even when the people managing the project change.
