Wikipedia tells us the following about its creator.
"Yann Arthus-Bertrand intends to show the state of our planet and the challenges humanity faces. Home will be released worldwide on June 5th 2009. It will be shown across the globe in cinemas, television, DVDs and in streaming on the internet (Arthus-Bertrand gave up his author's rights). The emissions of greenhouse gases produced by the movie's shooting were offset through Yann Arthus-Bertrand's organisation GoodPlanet and its 'Action Carbone' program."
Apparently it's financed by PPR, French multinational holding company specializing in retail shops and luxury brands - thus the luxury brand names appearing at the beginning of the film.
