Hyundai Motor has released episode two of the second season of its bi-weekly podcast, Are We There Yet?. In “From screen to green: pushing sustainability in showbiz”, Lenn Kudrjawizki, actor and partner of Hyundai Motor Deutschland, joins host Suzi Perry and shares his experiences working as an actor, leading humanitarian and sustainability-focused initiatives, as well as his work with Hyundai.
In season two, episode two, Kudrjawizki talks about how his passions for acting in front of the camera and acting sustainably overlap. As an ambassador for the Green Actors Lounge, he advocates for sustainable lifestyles, green film production, and fair cooperation. An actor since 1996, the German artist is aware that the film and television industry has traditionally been notorious for its large carbon footprint, but in recent years he has witnessed significant changes. Today, studios are introducing more sustainable practices throughout production.
There’s still a long way to go, but the awareness is growing so quickly right now. We are pushing for green production. There’s a big change coming up.
Kudrjawizki also explains his humanitarian and sustainability work. He started the klimaneutral jetzt and go climate action initiatives to offer everyday tips for adopting a carbon-neutral lifestyle, promote opportunities to offset personal carbon emissions, and highlight compensation projects for the social benefit of the local community.
Since 2019, Kudrjawizki has been raising money for various charities, including UNICEF, through his Antritt mit Herz (Step Up with Heart) initiative. For the 2020 and 2021 tours of Antritt mit Herz, Hyundai Motor Deutschland provided him with a KONA Electric, so he could not only help people affected by the earthquakes in Croatia but also travel across Europe with zero local emissions.
Lenn Kudrjawizki
As an ambassador of UNICEF, I can help kids. This is where it comes together. Saving the environment means saving the future for our kids. With my carbon neutral tours to my film sets, I want to inspire people, and I am raising money for children in need. Together with Hyundai and UNICEF, we collected so many ideas. We showed the people a different way of travelling and of helping each other.
As the sustainability brand face of Hyundai Motor Deutschland, Kudrjawizki has experienced Hyundai’s sustainable efforts first-hand. In addition to getting behind the wheels of KONA Electric and IONIQ 5, he also participated in a Healthy Seas’ activation, recovering 300 kilogrammes of fishing nets from the North Sea.

Episode two of the second season of Are We There Yet? is now live and available to listeners on Spotify, Apple, Google, Podcasts, Stitcher, Acast and other podcast streaming platforms. It is produced by Fresh Air Production.
