Results, Challenges and Outlook *
7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.
*Our emissions data includes:
- All emissions for productions that were delivered to the broadcaster/streamer in 2024, regardless of when the action took place/was paid for.
- All emissions for our corporate office that took place/were paid for between Jan 1 - Dec 31 2024.
Our emissions data is heavily influenced by the amount of productions we deliver in one year, and the size/logistics/locations of those productions. In 2024, our emissions include five productions of various budget sizes, including three productions that were fully filmed in overseas territories but managed from the UK, and one that had a small overseas unit. Overseas productions greatly increase emissions due to the travel involved.
We have also changed the way we are reporting this year; previously (under CDP reporting) we had applied a percentage-based approach for productions and split emissions across different years depending on what percentage of the production’s schedule fell within the reporting period. This year, we are choosing to report a full production’s emissions in the year of its delivery.
We are also increasingly improving our data collection processes, which results in higher emission numbers due to more clarity and availability of data.
7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?
*Reducing scope 3 emissions,Reducing emissions from business travel,Electrifying the vehicle fleet and/or cutting transport emissions,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Complexities in managing supply chain emissions,Insufficient funding,Inaccurate or insufficient data
7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?
*Yes
Our external data consultancy has reviewed the data.
