THE 9 IS SOMETHING SPECIAL

The 9 is something special!

The mystery and fabulousness of the number 9 is proverbial, but mathematically it’s not just that; whatever number from 1 to 9 you multiply by 9, the sum of the individual digits in the product will be 9 again; for example, 3 x 9 = 27 and 2+7 = 9.

If someone had told us at Go Green when we started the company 10 years ago that there would be 9 of us by then, we would have found it hard to believe. And yet, over the years we have expanded our business considerably, providing a full range of  M.I.C.E. and marketing services in addition to our core business of transport and regional tourism (DMC), all the while building on a sustainable philosophy and – above all – a strong, professional and happy team of employees.

Today, there are 9 of us in the team and we believe that we create something special for our clients.
Because we believe that only the best is good enough for them.

 

What are new challenges but a vision that becomes a success?

As any market-oriented company, we are always facing new challenges in the area of SALES, as it reaches and concerns all areas, all employees, all partners and all projects. Sales is almost an economic discipline in its own right and requires a number of excellent personal qualities and professional experience on the part of those who are involved in it. Sales requires a whole person who has a great deal of experiential knowledge as well as intuition. Since this year, it has been led by Eva Ugovšek.

EVA, CONGRATULATIONS!

The ambitious projects that Go Green is looking forward to in 2023 have prompted us at the beginning of this year to entrust the management of the key area of sales to an outstanding and long-standing colleague, Eva Ugovšek. Today, we congratulate her once again on taking on this important responsibility and wish her plenty of satisfaction and success with her new ideas and challenges.

Eva’s work reflects her warmth, communication ablilities and exceptional organisational skills, which always get her to the target, are highly appreciated by partners and professionally inspire us colleagues. As Eva believes, it is easy to have such a focus at work, because guests and clients always deserve only – the best.

Are you organising an event, need a vehicle or extra transport services, filming a commercial in Slovenia, organising a meeting and want something special for it? You are welcome to contact eva.ugovsek@go-green.si, who will meet your challenge quickly, reliably and professionally.

Good luck on the new projects!

Go Green Team

VALUES STEER A COMPANY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROVIDES THE NEEDED BOOST!

The past few years have seen incredible revolutionary technological advancements that established global connections thanks to the Internet. Everyday lives are changing before our very eyes. Digitalisation has brought about comprehensive transformation, and this is bound to continue: people are changing in their very essence.

If we add to the above the challenges of the increasingly dynamic modern way of life, such as the swiftness of change, the shifting of boundaries between the private, public, and professional spheres, the contemporary ways of communicating either withing our families or on the job, this prompts a call to active change in our values as well as in the learning of new skills. Adequate training is the path that ensures considerable improvement in the said process.

We do not have to look far to read about a certain lack of values. Transparency is indeed one of the changes of the modern times that, on the one hand, results in many benefits, but, on the other hand, points out to the considerable shortcomings of the existing system on the path to oblivion.


IT IS TIME FOR A NEW ERA THAT WILL PLACE PUT AHEAD OF MATERIAL THINGS!

When we established GO GREEN, we placed sustainable orientation in the broadest sense of the term among the Company’s core values. Sustainability is a key element of our strategies and activities, but also of all our relationships and attitudes, i.e., towards our employees, partners, customers, and the environment.

Values dictate the way we humans perceive life. It is therefore crucial that businesses pay attention to every individual, listen and hear what they have to say, to consider their personal traits in the organisation of work, and to support their growth.

Enhancing employees’ knowledge is arguably one of the best investments to better the future of a company, as it positively impacts the sentiment in the business environment, the collaborative relationships, efficiency, performance and productivity and the overall atmosphere, all of which reflect on customer satisfaction.

GO GREEN is aware of these implications. In the past five years, we have organised several group training sessions and personalised coaching sessions for all our employees, some addressing actual business situations.

WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE WHERE ‘LIFE AT WORK’ IS INTERTWINED WITH ‘LIFE AT HOME’

GO GREEN’s primary focus is on the ultimate excellence in services for our customers provided on our behalf by individuals precious to our Company. We therefore wish that working for us became part of each employee’s career vision and an opportunity for personal headway, growth and improvement of skills that are useful – professionally, as part of our team and in the private sphere.

 

HAPPY INDIVIDUALS ARE AT THE HEART OF A COMPANY’S GROWTH

The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions has since 1990 been monitoring the working conditions and satisfaction employees across EU Member States and Slovenia ranks poorly – it occupies the 26th place among 31 countries. Only a good ten per cent of Slovenian employees express they are very happy with their job and working conditions (Universal Excellence Magazine, September 2014, Year 3, Issue 3).

Employees’ satisfaction and motivation are closely linked to happy customers and their undertaking’s business performance. This is because at their heart, companies are people. To address this aspect, GO GREEN has since 2018 been collaborating with the Fast Forward, Learning & Development company.

The training challenge we have set for ourselves was clear: how does do we ensure long-term top quality and even upgrade the well-established excellence of services in the field of travel, transportation, tourism, car hire for companies or individual clients from Slovenia and the wider region? Considering that the key elements of our offer are premium chauffeured transportation services, comprehensive creative solutions for business meetings, other MICE events and marketing solutions, it goes without saying that our top-quality services revolve around people.

Achieving goals in companies always begins with a happy individual, who must have his or her own (higher) goals, knows the goals of the company and is also able to recognise the goals of his or her co-workers in the team. This can prove to be quite a challenge in practice.

The above calls for skills that are not second nature to most people – they are to be learnt, trained, and maintained. A company basing its services on people should be able to recognise such potential and foster their development, supporting the bonding of team members. This is the reason for us embarking on the path of employee training.

 

5 YEARS, 5 TRAINING PROGRAMMES, GROUP WORKSHOPS AND COACHING SESSIONS

In the five years of actively implementing training programmes, GO GREEN has addressed very specific challenges: the awareness and importance of the connection between individuals and their fields of work, the efficient management of work assignments, personal responsibility and proactive personal development that will have a holistic impact on the individual’s life.

In the times when exceptional events, innovative meetings, modern and environmentally friendlier vehicles we use to provide our services have become increasingly complex, coupled with the Covid-19 pandemic business eclipse that surprised us all, we were even more determined to actively pursue employee training.

As we faced with difficult circumstances and uncertain prospects for the Company and its employees, the knowledge gained from our group workshops and coaching sessions proved to be precious: it provided new insight into the tremendous value of knowledge, introspection, and ways to make the most of our advantages. It helped us understand the situation at the time, our inner workings, and our colleagues. This new knowledge and insights efficiently paved our way ahead.

After five years of training, we find ourselves in top shape. We know and can do more, full stop.

To date, we have implemented no fewer than 5 programmes of group workshops and individual coaching one-on-one mentorship) sessions, and we are very proud of the results.

Our group workshops focus on the activity of individuals within a group, on the functioning of the entire team, and the understanding of diversity, while coaching involves a mentor (coach) working in-depth with an individual.

The latter approach is based on the understanding of the individual, the recognition of the strengths and weaknesses in personal traits, which will then inform the setting of short- and long-term goals. Coaching sessions will then pursue the goals thus set, and personal development, allowing the individual to better harmonise the personal and professional spheres, improve focus, responsibility, efficiency, productivity in the workplace, overall wellbeing of the individual and, as a result, the company’s interpersonal environment.

 

EDUCATION IS LEARNING WHAT YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW YOU DIDN’T KNOW
(Daniel J. Boorstin)

The five-stage learning programme that GO GREEN carried out across seven half-day workshops (group/individual) covered the bases from the field of general personal and professional growth: the strengthening of self-awareness and the awareness of others, personal excellence, the recognition of values, self-management, work ethics, the management of time and conflicts, the strengthening of emotional intelligence, the improvement of emotional culture, coping with uncertainty (the pandemic, personal resilience, stress, trigger recognition, etc.).

During the past two years, we then proceeded to focus the training on increasingly demanding topics and skills: managing challenging conversations and learning to use new tools and structures to do so, efficient feedback, clear, respectful and open communication and the understanding of interpersonal differences and similarities to improve cooperation.


IN KNOWLEDGE LIES THE POWER OF THE INDIVIDIUAL, OF THE TEAM AND OF THE ORGANISATION

Having achieved our first goal, i.e., the increase of the level of self-awareness and the awareness of other team members, we are now ready for new goals that will go deeper, but especially to apply them in practice, as practice presents hundreds of challenges every day. This, along with the noticeable tangible improvements that the said training programmes have brought to the Company, prompts us to continue with such workshops and coaching sessions in 2023.

What is it that GO Green Team is now better at?

We team members have become a better version of ourselves. That also includes in dialogue and in working with our colleagues. We are more efficient in team meetings and in our line of work, we notice that our interpersonal interactions are more attentive, and we are proud of our novel approaches to communication. We have a better understanding of ourselves, our personality types and the different roles assigned to us within the team. If we could always say we collaborated very well within the team, our collaboration today is exemplary, with each employee being even more proactive.

Thanks to the new knowledge and skillset, each employee can embrace his or her role in the company in a different way, with the overall working environment and business results at GO GREEN improving before our very eyes. Armed with our newfound curiosity, each morning, we march ahead to meet new personal and business challenges.

In addition to driver assistance, you can also benefit from the support services of the Go Green team, who work behind the scenes to come up with ideas, implement unique wishes and projects, and deliver a great customer experience.

GO GREEN WELCOMES NEW CHALLENGES AND STRENGTHS IN THE TEAM

Every successful company can first and foremost credit its successes and achievements to its motivated and satisfied team of employees – and ours is entering the autumn with renewed vigour and new challenges.

Before the start of the team meeting in mid-June, the Go Green crew joked that our company is a luxury limousine driven by the CEO, while the team members – 9 of us – are the engine of the company. And this is not far from the reality.

As GO GREEN continues to grow, we are increasing the volume of work and the number of successful projects we deliver each year. We are also increasing the range of services we provide, while maintaining our focus on three aspects:

  • motivated and satisfied employees,
  • satisfied clients
  • and a long-term focus on moving our business towards more sustainable practices.

Also, the number of our GO GREEN team members keeps on growing.

 

WELCOME, NIKA!

This summer, due to the increasing number of events we co-organise for our clients, we have strengthened our team with an exceptional event organiser, NIKA POŽUN, who firmly believes in a personal and positive approach and careful attention to detail that makes our clients’ wishes come true. An exceptional listener, she knows how to create events that all guests will remember. Meet Nika… to whom all of us would like to extend a warm welcome and are looking forward to the first events she will be organising.

 

GOOD LUCK, ROK AND MIHA!

Congratulations also to the tandem ROK GOBEC and MIHA GLAVAN for their new tasks and responsibilities. Both joined Go Green in 2021 and were now assigned the position of assistant product managers in the vehicles process, entrusted with the optimisation of the purchase, maintenance and sales of vehicles in Go Green’s complex fleet – which includes luxury vehicles, as well as standard and business cars and vans, mainly from the BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Volkswagen brands.

Rok, as Product Manager, will now be responsible for the purchase and sale of new vehicles and the operational leasing of vehicles, while Miha will take over responsibility for the purchase and sale of used vehicles. We wish them every success in successfully optimising their business in their new areas of responsibility and in all the challenges ahead, developing their vision, achieving their goals in a sustainable corporate spirit and, above all, enjoying working as part of a team. Both are enthusiastic sportsmen and will thus continue to be important co-creators of the close bond between our colleagues in the ‘sporting spirit’.     

Now… let’s move on to new GO GREEN challenges.
Ride with us on this journey.

‘GO GREEN’ AND FIRST GREEN STEPS/KILOMETRES IN PRACTICE

Although we still have many kilometres to go in the future to get to a zero-carbon footprint, there is much we can do today. In fact, it is within a company’s power to continuously move and manage its operations and transport towards greener mobility.

At Go Green, we do this by making responsible and realistic choices about how we buy, lease and use vehicles – towards a greener future.

In practice, this means integrating newer, technologically advanced vehicles into our business process, those with better or more sophisticated engines, which allow good utilisation and consequently lower emissions into the environment. We also choose vehicles with more rational fuel consumption, resulting in lower CO2 emissions.

  • The realistic options for improving transport are not ideal, but they are a way to get there

As a transport company, we are naturally concerned about development, innovation, technology, and the overall idea of achieving lower and lower pollution. But as a company that provides different transport services for different customer needs, it is also important to achieve these expectations.

The integration of electric vehicles into services and the associated time requirements for vehicle charging can only be gradually implemented into operational business. Hybrid vehicles are an excellent solution for the time being but not ideal. The use of hybrid vehicles allows us to deliver within the expectations of our customers or passengers. Even if the journey is unexpectedly extended due to passenger preferences or conditions, the transport can be carried out as efficiently as possible and in the desired time.

  • Lower carbon footprint of vehicles – a factor in the decision on the type of transport

For a given category of transport, we can offer the appropriate vehicle model from the manufacturer of your choice, but for optimum utilisation and the lowest possible carbon footprint, the choice of powertrain is also based on the technological parameters and requirements of the individual order or the customer’s preferences: the expected number of passengers and pieces of luggage and the itinerary considering the distance and the stops envisaged.

At the point where we are in our development, we are aware that each of the chosen modes of transport has its advantages, but also its disadvantages in the overall view of sustainability.

For shorter journeys within urban environments, the benefits of electric motors can be fully exploited. They are almost completely silent, acceleration is smooth and extremely dynamic, and the first-class impression of being driven in a technologically advanced car is enhanced by the knowledge that the carbon footprint of the journey was zero. However, we must not forget that this achievement is only a parameter – the vehicle has been manufactured, includes environmentally harmful elements, and will one day have to be phased out.

Due to the real (limited) ranges of electric vehicles and the time needed to charge the vehicle, we are integrating them gradually.

Plug-in hybrids are very close to pure electric vehicles in both purpose and driving experience, with the additional internal combustion engine providing longer range and higher speeds, but at the same time much lower CO2 emissions and extremely low fuel consumption than older powertrains. They deliver the quality of the order within the expectations of the passengers and are not distance dependent (as with purely electric vehicles).

Electric vehicle technology is advancing rapidly, but it will be a few years before we can always fully rely on such vehicles and in all places, especially in a wide range of professional situations. Plug-in hybrids are therefore the optimal choice for urban, short- and medium-distance driving.

  • A good choice for longer distances

For longer journeys with a higher mass load, beyond the current limitations of electric car technology, vehicles with a conventional hybrid drive offer many advantages compared to diesel or petrol cars: the main ones are, of course, the reduced environmental impact of exhaust emissions and fuel economy.

In electric mode at lower speeds, the driving experience is elegant, but the exceptional comfort continues even when the efficient and technically sophisticated latest-generation internal combustion engine takes over.

The technological sophistication, continuous development and progress of electric and hybrid vehicles ensure a sustainable future in terms of environmental pollution in the field of high-quality transport, which is the core business of Go Green. Such state-of-the-art solutions allow us to be optimistic and to realise our vision of greener mobility every year.  

WHICH VEHICLES ARE BEST SUITED FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE?

As a leading provider of high-quality transport services in Slovenia and the wider region, we actively monitor the development of new technologies in the automotive industry that are more environmentally friendly. This guides us in formulating strategies for fleet management, which we regularly update, and for the provision of standard, business and luxury transport services in line with the development trends of the automotive industry.

GREEN MOBILITY – OUR COMMON FUTURE

Preventing global warming due to the greenhouse effect is an urgency and a priority for humanity. Governments in the developed world are adopting ambitious plans and measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere – the goal of advanced societies is to achieve carbon neutrality in the 2030-2050 period.

As the use of fossil fuels is being phased out, technologies to harness renewable energy sources that are more environmentally friendly are being developed at an accelerated pace.

In order to reduce the carbon footprint of transport, one of the most pressing environmental problems, the environmental measures and technologies that will make this possible foresee the phasing out of petroleum-based internal combustion engines and a gradual shift towards the use of electric engines in land transport and the use of hydrogen as a fuel, in particular for larger passenger aircraft and ships.

It is also in this work that we recognise the updated strategic orientations of our company, where we also place the efforts of our employees towards greener service delivery and the search for improved business solutions towards additional responsibility for environmental protection.

Slovenia – among the pioneers of a greener future

As the green heart of Europe, Slovenia is one of the most advanced countries in the science and industry that will pave our future: from aeronautical and automotive designers to experts developing solid-state batteries. At Go Green, we keep a close eye on all new developments and advances of this kind.

In our everyday lives, Slovenians can also be proud of our concern for the environment, from protecting unspoilt nature and green spaces to sustainable agriculture. The success of our efforts is confirmed by international awards: Slovenia has repeatedly been at the top of global rankings of the world’s most environmentally friendly countries; five years ago, in September 2016, Slovenia was crowned the world’s first Green Destination at the Global Green Destinations Day International Conference; and in 2021, the prestigious Condé Nast travel guide listed Slovenia as the only country in the world to be named a Green Destination.

Go Green offers three categories of transport:

  • standardni transport
  • business transport, and
  • luxury transport

For all these services, we choose the latest vehicles from the world’s leading brands, which are synonymous with quality, reliability and the most advanced technological solutions.

Being committed to sustainability is much more than reducing pollution

Every use of vehicles and every movement, however small, has an impact on the environment. Even if we, as a transport operator, manage to achieve a minimum carbon footprint for each individual transport, we are aware that, taken as a whole, we will not be able to achieve a zero footprint (at least for a while yet).

Everything counts for the environment; the whole cycle of production and transport of a vehicle (production, transport to the customer, use over the years, handling and storage of hazardous and environmentally harmful waste inherent in the vehicle, and finally retirement and decommissioning of the materials).

Being committed to sustainability means much more than just environmental impact and pollution, it is a balance between environmental equilibrium, social security and economic stability. What does all this really mean?

In practice, creating added value for the local and global environment, for all the people involved (users and employees), for the economy, which gains rather than loses by adopting green technologies and approaches (new jobs, higher ethics, long-term viability, and on and on).

Being sustainable means balancing all three aspects at the same time: environmental, economic, and social.

So, when we want to answer the question of which vehicles are best suited to a sustainable future, the right answer is the one that offers the company the optimum balance of all three aspects, in a given situation at a given time and place.

…to be continued in march 2022: ‘Go Green’ and first green steps/kilometres in practice

UNIQUE LIKE YOU

Uniqueness creates beauty in the world, it fosters diversity. Uniqueness applies to every single person in the world, but it only shows its true strength when you dare to express it and share it with others.

Go Green is a unique company. Our employees are unique. Our services are unique. From our first steps 12 years ago to today, we are proud of that. Throughout the years, we have been nurturing uniqueness, we have remained dedicated and outstanding in the little touches we give to our passengers and partners. That is why we stay on top. We never ‘cut corners’ or take the easy way out, but instead follow the discrete, better, more beautiful and innovative path – a path that, just like this cup, tells a story and encourages you to be your own person. This is also unique.

The cup is the work of the experienced and creative hands of potter Jasmina Verbič.

It is one-of-a-kind, UNIQUE JUST LIKE YOU!

GO GREEN team wishes you successful, lovely, safe and UNIQUE 2022!

WELCOME TO SLOVENIA – A COUNTRY PRETTY AS A (MOTION) PICTURE

Our country offers a wealth of enchanting locations that inspire film, theatre, music, marketing, media and travel & tourism production teams.

Slovenia and its wider region are ideal for filming in captivating locales, a great choice for film crews, for companies in search of unique venues for their events, or for agencies pursuing originality in their production ambitions. Our Go Green team provides you with full support in terms of organisation, logistics and implementation.

BE IT A COMMERCIAL, A MUSIC VIDEO, A SELECTED SCENE OR AN ENTIRE FEATURE FILM – SLOVENIA HAS YOU COVERED

There are not many countries in the world that offer sea, mountains, green valleys, magical towns and villages, and the maximum distances are only a few hundred kilometres. This allows huge savings for production companies, who are already looking out for the already high costs of filming.

In every season, as the scenery changes before our eyes, there are many exceptional venues to be found (numerous castles across Slovenia, the Opera House, the coastal cliffs, karst caves, the Alps and fairytale Alpine valleys, gorges, waterfalls, lakes and fairytale towns, as if the past had kept them alive). Unique locations are great for unique video or film settings, as well as for outstanding business meetings, presentations, premieres and even private gatherings and celebrations. Slovenia offers excellent accommodation options for even the most sophisticated of guests, and when you also consider the culinary excellence of Michelin-starred chefs who have taken local cuisine to world-class levels, the level of enjoyment will be nothing short of amazing.

Another major advantage is that Venice, Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg, Munich, Zagreb and Opatija are all within 100 to 380 kilometres of our borders, while Hvar and Dubrovnik are also not far away.

We are well aware of how important TIME is for film and video production. The schedules are packed with tasks and coordination, a large number of people with different profiles are involved, artists from different parts of the world and different cultures, actors, directors, costume designers, set designers, photographers, cameramen, etc. – and the costs vary from project to project, with different degrees of budget-friendliness or flexibility. That’s why we know that TIME – and the absence of the extra hassle that transport can often cause – comes in very handy indeed! In business, time is capital.

 

RECEPTIONS, PREMIERES, OTHER VIP EVENTS AND COMPREHENSIVE ASSISTANCE

Let Go Green team’s experience become your advantage – in terms of cost, logistics and implementation.

CAST AND CREW TRANSPORTATION SERVICES & SOLUTIONS

Cast and Crew Transportation: Your Reliable Partner for Smooth and Efficient Filming in Slovenia

Are you looking for reliable, and efficient cast and crew transportation in Slovenia? Keep reading…

Slovenia, a country renowned for its picturesque landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich history, has become a popular destination for filmmakers worldwide. If you’re planning a film shoot in Slovenia, Go Green is your trusted partner for providing safe, reliable, and efficient cast and crew transportation.

With our extensive fleet of vehicles, ranging from luxury sedans to spacious minivans, we can accommodate any size crew and ensure a smooth journey to and from your filming locations. Our experienced and discreet drivers are familiar with Slovenia’s roads and regulations, ensuring that you arrive on time and in comfort.

Let our fleet and team of drivers become your efficient props!

One of Go Green’s specialities is to provide comprehensive support to film, cinema, media and music production teams when you’re looking for the perfect filming locations, or when you’ve already chosen a location and need logistical support in organising transport and hiring drivers.

Slovenia is one of the world’s most desirable film destinations.This allows you to concentrate fully on the core of your demanding area of expertise, while we take care of everything else that is not strictly related to the essence of your business, but is vital to the smooth running of your work. Thus, based on your needs and in consultation with you, we offer: the planning, coordination and execution of transport, assistance in obtaining various documentation, licences, rental of vehicles with a driver, transfers, catering, accommodation and guides; in short, we work with you in the management of the project. We are experienced, flexible and understand the value of your working or filming day. Working with us brings you all the savings that other people usually have to pay for. We are a trusted brand.

Famous names from the world of cinema such as Pierce Brosnan, Jackie Chan, Emma Thompson, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Jeff Goldblum, Naomi Watts, Sir Patrick Stewart, Cuba Gooding Jr., James Mason, Stewart Granger, James Coburn, Telly Savalas, Simon Callow, and this year probably also Tom Cruise, have filmed their blockbusters in Slovenia. Our country has been the picturesque setting for the Oscar-winning film No Man’s Land, the fantasy masterpiece Narnia: Prince Caspian and half a dozen blockbusters of Indian cinema – Bollywood.

Drive less. Film more. Film in Slovenia – is the slogan of the Slovenian Tourist Board, which presented the beauty of Slovenia as an optimal film destination at the London Film Fair.

There are only a few countries in the world that offer sea, mountains, green valleys, magical towns and villages, and the greatest distances are only a few hundred kilometres. This is a huge saving for production companies, who are mindful of the already high costs of filming. Of course, waking up in fairytale Brda, adrenaline activities and unearthly beautiful scenes in Posočje, the romantic Logar Valley or Pomurje, nature hikes in the Alps or in the ancient forests of Kočevje, a relaxing break in a picturesque town square and a spectacular sunset on the Coast – these are attributes that can be found in few places – WHETHER IT’S AN ADVERT, A MUSIC VIDEO, A SELECTED SCENE OR A FULL-LENGTH FEATURE FILM.

Another major advantage is that Venice, Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg, Munich, Zagreb and Opatija are all within 100 to 380 kilometres of our borders, while Hvar and Dubrovnik are also not far away.

WE OFFER AFFORDABLE CAST AND CREW TRANSPORTATION TO AND BETWEEN FILMING LOCATIONS 

The list of the most desirable locations includes Ljubljana, Bled, Piran, Postojna, Bohinj, Tolmin, Ptuj, Kočevje, Kanin, Krvavec, but many more desinations could be added to it as well. Of course, due to the advantage of proximity, we also offer transfers to popular neighbouring countries – Croatia: to Zagreb, Opatija, Hvar, Dubrovnik;  italy: to Trieste, Venice, Padua, Milan, the Dolomites, the picturesque lakes and Bologna; Austria: to Graz, Vienna and Salzburg and on to Germany as far as Munich; Hungary: to Lake Balaton and Budapest. Within a radius of 380 kilometres, we can reach most of the locations listed.

WHY CHOOSE GO GREEN AS YOUR TRANSPORT PROVIDER?

Precision, professionalism and knowledge of the “home turf” are three strong reasons to entrust such an important function in the organisation of a film or video shoot to the best.

Nothing should be left to chance when it comes to transporting production crews. Everything and everyone needs to be in the right place at the right time, which is why organising and executing transport for a productions company requires detailed preparation, rapid response, flexibility and adaptability, and a focus on the common goal – a successful and flawless execution.

MAKE THE MOST OF THE BENEFITS – WE KNOW THE SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE REGION

We work closely with several small and larger domestic and foreign production companies, which we have transported safely around Slovenia or to areas of South-Eastern and Central Europe on several occasions.

Working with our team specialising in film, video, commercials and music videoclips is, above all, easy and enjoyable. We know Slovenian media houses, national and commercial media providers, we know film, theatre, television, video and social media creators, we know the biggest Slovenian names in film and music production, we know photographers, translators, music performers, media, etc.

Let our experience become your advantage – in terms of cost, logistics and implementation. The services we provide to film, media, music and video production companies in Slovenia and neighbouring Croatia, Italy, Austria and Hungary include: 

  • hire of vehicles of all categories, from cars, vans, minibuses and other vehicles for filming, as well as chauffeur services,
  • the services of a coordinator or transport manager,
  • transport services in support of production teams – we organise and provide transport for research, location scouting, etc.
  • safe transport for filmmakers and film crews (studio – on-site location – hotel),
  • safe transport and guidance of influencers to various locations (transport and, if desired, guided tours),
  • organising security for VIP crew members (actresses, actors, directors),
  • delivery and transport of props, costumes or other equipment,
  • planning and implementing optimal transport,
  • transport to special events,
  • holidays (extended stay) for crew members.

Professional, efficient to the max, excellent in support.

We are well aware of the fact that time is a very important component in film and video production. The schedules are full of tasks and coordination, there are many people involved from different backgrounds, artists from different parts of the world and different cultures, actors, directors, costume designers, set designers, photographers, cameramen, etc., and the costs vary from one project to another in terms of their friendliness or flexibility. That is why we know that time and the absence of the extra hassle that transport can often cause can be very useful for you!

The needs of film, video and music crews vary, but they all need to transport people and equipment, which is what we specialise in. Organising transport, storing equipment and reactivating it the next day are very important elements of a successful shoot, and this is where the Go Green team can help you decisively – we have the knowledge and “thousands of miles” of experience.

We transport every technical crew and DOP, as well as actors, directors, production crew and clients with the same degree of professionalism and dedication. We handle props and equipment with the utmost care and attention. We work with the utmost discretion on every project and are professional at every detail of the script.

In addition to ensuring smooth transportation of staff and equipment to the filming location and time-efficient departures, we also assist production companies in obtaining filming permits where necessary (knowledge of national regulations).

In all of this, we are distinguished by our flexibility and truly rapid response times to any additional unforeseen service and capacity needs (vehicles, drivers, etc.).

ALL OUR CAST AND CREW TRANSPORTATION SERVICES ARE TAILORED TO THE SECURITY MEASURES IN TACKLING COVID-19

We are able to adapt quickly and move with the times, which is why we have put in place the most effective safety measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, in line with all national and international regulations and recommendations, ensuring that, while the comfort and safety of driving itself is unquestioned, this aspect is also elegantly taken care of, but everything runs smoothly and at the highest level of quality, despite the exceptional conditions.

GO GREEN’S DRIVERS – CAST AND CREW TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND CONFIDENTIALITY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL


All our drivers have many years of experience in production transport, are discreet and ensure a relaxed atmosphere, comfort and trust for our customers and passengers. The NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) is a mandatory contract for all our drivers.

TIMELINESS – OPTIMAL ROUTE – LOW COSTS

Our first mission, which we follow unconditionally, is to put you at ease and allow you to focus on your  primary objective – filming. We want you, as the organiser, and your team members to be completely relaxed, as we will make sure you arrive on time and take the optimal route.

Make the most of the journey to your destination and the time you have to spend in a car – dedicate it to yourself and your project. Relax, organise, communicate in absolute comfort with fully organised transport to the locations and support for the filming.

Our Go Green team works closely with you and provides full support at all stages of your work process: from initial preparations and location scouting right down to the last shot.

Thanks to our established position on the Slovenian market and excellent business cooperation with other stakeholders, which enable us to maintain a top-class fleet, our services are extremely cost-effective and attractive, which is an additional advantage compared to alternative solutions offered by providers from distant locations.
