1.2 Describe your business activities

*
Sky Bear Media is a full-service video production company based in downtown Olympia, specializing in documentary filmmaking that captures authentic, impactful stories. Since 2013, our team has been dedicated to creating compelling, cinematic content that tells real stories with heart and integrity. Our expertise in documentary filmmaking has led us to partner with over 25 Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest, as well as commercial, government, and nonprofit organizations. We’ve produced content for high-profile clients like Amazon, Microsoft, and the University of Washington, as well as smaller, local businesses.

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

*
We plan to replace the current primary petrol-fueled vehicle with an electric vehicle, complementing the existing Tesla secondary vehicle. This transition aims to eliminate petrol fuel use for company vehicles, significantly reducing Scope 1 emissions. We also plan adopt better battery charging practices by reducing unnecessary charging with high quality batteries. Sky Bear will continue to promote sustainable operational practices by expanding initiatives such as automated lighting and timed fan systems, handwashing reusable dishes and silverware that are provided in-office, and encouraging public transit or ride-share options for team members.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*
We used SME Climate Hub\\\'s carbon emissions calculator. Scope 1 emissions primarily represent fuel combustion from the business’s primary petrol-fueled vehicle. The emissions value reported (1.578 tonnes CO₂e) is based on fuel usage data or estimates, assuming standard emission factors for petrol. The secondary vehicle, a Tesla electric vehicle, is accounted for under Scope 2 as its energy consumption is electric rather than fuel-based. Scope 2 emissions cover electricity purchased from the grid for office operations and electric vehicle charging. Electricity consumption for the office is estimated at approximately 16,358 kWh per year based on reported emissions and the local grid emission factor. Tesla electric vehicle charging energy is estimated separately, based on mileage (100 miles/week) and average EV efficiency (0.26 kWh/mile), adding roughly 1,352 kWh annually. Energy consumption for recharging rechargeable batteries for filming equipment (20 batteries charged weekly) is estimated at 30 kWh annually. Emission Factors and Grid Mix Electricity emission factors are derived from the Washington State grid average (~0.0967 kg CO₂e/kWh), reflecting its predominantly renewable energy mix (~85% renewable). This assumes that all purchased electricity comes from the local grid and does not account for additional renewable energy procurement or on-site generation. Assumptions and Limitations Fuel and electricity consumption figures include a combination of direct data and activity-based estimates. Vehicle mileage, battery usage, and office electricity are based on estimates provided by the business and typical consumption factors. Actual consumption may vary depending on operational changes, energy efficiency measures, or changes in driving behavior. Scope 1 emissions do not include any fuel use related to the Tesla, as it is an electric vehicle with zero tailpipe emissions. Data Quality The methodology follows standard guidance for SMEs, using recognized emission factors and estimates suitable for initial carbon accounting and reporting. Due to the use of estimates and assumptions, the reported figures are indicative and intended for ongoing monitoring and improvement rather than precise quantification.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

*
Yes

4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions

*
24.638 metric tons CO2e

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

Customer related - downstream emissions

4.1.17 Do you have a plan and are taking action to reduce emissions from your value chain?

*

Yes

Sky Bear is working to reduce business travel emissions by increasing use of contractors local to out-of-state filming locations to reduce the need for air travel.

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?

*
No

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?

*
No

4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.

*
We used the SME Climate Hub Carbon Emissions Calculator. The Scope 3 emissions reported include purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, and business travel as outlined in the emissions report. Categories such as employee commuting, waste, and other indirect emissions are excluded due to limited data availability. Data Sources and Estimates Emission estimates for purchased goods and services and capital goods are based on spend-based methods provided by the reporting tool, relying on economic activity data and industry average emission factors. Business travel emissions (air travel and hotel stays) are estimated using typical emission factors per trip or stay; specific travel details were not provided. Fuel- and energy-related activities emissions include upstream emissions associated with purchased fuels and electricity but do not double-count direct Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions. Assumptions and Limitations Spend-based emission factors reflect average sector-level data and may not capture supplier-specific efficiencies or variations. Business travel emissions are generalized estimates and may differ from actual travel behavior. Capital goods emissions are assumed to relate primarily to office and operational equipment purchases; actual asset lifetimes and usage patterns are not detailed.

Climate Solutions (optional) *

Management, Strategy and Climate Risk (optional) *

6.1 What governance processes do you have in place for your climate strategy? Choose as many as are applicable.

*

No processes in place

6.2 Have you started to identify and assess your companies climate risks and opportunities?

*
No - we plan to in the next 1-5 years

6.3 Have you integrated climate and/or nature into your company mission statement or shareholder agreements? If yes, describe how.

*

Yes

At Sky Bear Media, environmental stewardship is an expression of Indigenous values, rooted in respect, reciprocity, and responsibility to the land. We share Native stories where caring for our land and water is not just a tradition, but a path toward healing, justice, and renewal for generations to come. As recognized stewards of the land, Native peoples bring a deep understanding of sustainability, which guides both our storytelling and our everyday practices.

6.4 Have you taken actions this year outside of your emissions to accelerate climate progress?

*

Yes

We partner with clients who\'s purpose for contracting video work is to document and inform, whether to tribes, stakeholders, or legislation, of their ecological efforts.

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

*
This is Sky Bear Media\\\'s first climate report. However, we continue to make changes regarding our travel and office energy-use to operate as sustainability as possible. Located in Olympia, WA, we benefit from a local grid that is approximately 85% renewable. The business utilizes a Tesla as a secondary vehicle for most commuting, significantly reducing reliance on petrol and lowering Scope 1 emissions associated with transportation. Sky Bear Media employs rechargeable batteries for filming gear, optimizing energy consumption and reducing waste from disposable batteries. Automated office lights that turn off when not in use help reduce unnecessary electricity consumption, supporting energy efficiency.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*

Reducing scope 3 emissions,Reducing emissions from business travel,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Complexities in managing supply chain emissions

7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?
