HEALTH

In the context of COVID, all government regulations + production industry standards will be followed - based on shoot location. Asset travel and asset requests will be limited as much as possible. PPMS and other touch points to be conducted remotely.

CARBON + ENERGY

Conscious of our shared commitments to sustainable practices, Magnum Photos will fully offset carbon emissions by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide saving through offset schemes. Crews and equipment will be kept to a minimum, to avoid any strain on local energy sources, ensuring those resources remain available to health clinics and local first responder efforts.

GENDER

Women have been the hardest hit by the pandemic, as well as being central to community-based recovery efforts, as frontline healthcare workers, and carers at home. In identifying and concepting the stories to be told -- as well as assembling teams of storytellers -- we will center women in the planning, decision-making, and execution.

INEQUALITIES

COVID-19 has deepened Inequalities for vulnerable populations in communities with weaker health systems, compounding the hardship faced by existing humanitarian and social justice inequities. We will ensure these stories are amplified, and companies’ impact and commitments are articulated.
