Well, Secuoya Studios, the Madrid-based powerhouse behind hits like Shades (Matices), is making that cosmic dream a reality. As Venus grooves through Libra, encouraging balance and harmony, it seems perfectly fitting that Secuoya is snagging the 2025 MIP SDG Award at MIPCOM Cannes for their eco-conscious production wizardry. They’re not just talking the talk—they’ve rolled out the Greenbook Sustainable Filming Protocol, crafted with Mrs. Greenfilm, inaugurated Spain’s very first independently audited Sustainable Management Seal, and even birthed an Eco Manager role for every project. It’s a bold leap in marrying creativity with responsibility, proving that the planet and storytelling can share the spotlight without drama. Intrigued to see how this green-lit saga unfolds?

Secuoya Studios will receive the 2025 MIP SDG Award at MIPCOM Cannes in recognition of its sustainable production program. The award, presented in association with the United Nations, acknowledges companies advancing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals through their work in television and streaming.

The Madrid-based studio, whose productions include such series as Shades (Matices), Montecristo and Zorro, has become a leading advocate for environmentally responsible production practices in Spain. The award highlights Secuoya initiatives, including the Greenbook Sustainable Filming Protocol, developed with eco-consultancy Mrs. Greenfilm; the establishment of a Sustainable Management Seal, the first independently audited environmental certification of its kind in Spain; and the creation of a dedicated sustainability department which assigns an Eco Manager to each production.

“At Secuoya Studios, we view sustainability as a guiding commitment that shapes the way we create, produce, and share content with the world,” said Secuoya CEO Brendan Fitzgerald in a statement. “It’s a commitment based on belief in innovation, technology, and strategic alliances that drive lasting change. Beyond the honour itself, having this stage at MIPCOM allows us to demonstrate just how universally adoptable many of these practices can be.”

The award will be presented at MIPCOM in Cannes on October 15 by Caroline Petit, Deputy Director of the United Nations Regional Information Centre for Europe, during a session on industry sustainability practices. Previous recipients of the MIP SDG Award include A+E Networks, Sky, and Studio Silverback.

The 2025 MIPCOM Cannes runs Oct. 13-16.
