Newyonder is a streaming service and film production company that aims to add sustainability and environmental care to the film world. All content to date, is produced by Newyonder and distributed globally through pay-per-view rentals, delivered with Red Bee Media’s Managed OTT services. Recently, they have decided to expand its services into a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) offering, and they still count with Red Bee Media’s technology.

All films are albert-certified (BAFTA) carbon-neutral, sustainable productions with the ambition to have a positive social and environmental impact. This includes minimizing travel, compensating for any emissions, hiring local crew, and investing parts of the revenue in nature-based sustainability initiatives.

Newyonder is currently carbon neutral and aims to be carbon negative once their regenerative impact projects are implemented. One of the biggest challenges is the measurement of emissions from streaming, but the company is leaning on recent research and will continue to develop and refine its methods.

“In essence, you go beyond the story and subscribe for change – to be immersed in the power of story whilst being a part of something bigger – to help restore the planet,” said Jon Cleave, CEO and Founder of Newyonder. “I hope to be able to influence other media companies and filmmakers to follow in our footsteps, putting sustainability at the forefront without compromising creativity, quality, reach and profitability. I’m happy to have the support from Red Bee on this journey. Their commitment to sustainability in the media industry made the choice easy when we were looking for a streaming partner.”

“We take pride in supporting Newyonder in their quest to make the world more sustainable and inspire others in media and entertainment to do the same,” says James Arnold, Chief Commercial Officer, Red Bee. “Red Bee is already supporting sustainability initiatives in the media industry, and now we are looking forward to following Newyonder’s progress, learning from it, and together taking further steps to preserve the planet”.
