Levin says her organization receives between five and 20 applications from each studio per year, but that there are likely more that qualify. Studios submit applications to EMA, which are then evaluated according to a 150-point scale based on how well the studio complies with program guidelines. In 2003, EMA created the Green Seal award to prove that it was possible to maintain the same sustainable principles off-camera that they were promoting on it.

The sequel in the revamped superhero franchise, which stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Jamie Foxx, has earned the Green Seal award for environmental efforts and sustainable practices during production from the Environmental Media Association. The Green Goblin isn’t the only thing that’s green about the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as Sony Pictures also took part in a green initiative throughout the course of the film’s production.
