This Transition Plan will support the 大象传媒鈥檚 journey to Net Zero and is a hugely important milestone as we commit to a low-carbon future.
The 大象传媒 has published its first Climate Transition Plan, detailing how it intends to be Net Zero by 2050. This forms part of the Corporation鈥檚 commitment to building a sustainable 大象传媒 and wider media industry.
The 大象传媒 has been making significant progress towards its science-based targets, aligning a commitment to world-renowned natural history programming with ambitious and tangible actions off-screen.
From reducing emissions on acclaimed drama Blue Lights by replacing diesel fuel with HVO in generators and production trucks, to replacing refrigeration chillers and gas-fired boilers with heat pumps in its offices, the 大象传媒 is committed to driving decarbonisation across the 大象传媒 Group.
Its first Transition Plan, developed in line with the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) Disclosure Framework, sets out the 大象传媒鈥檚 Ambition, Action and Accountability in reaching Net Zero, including:
- Reducing, optimising and innovating its energy to low-carbon solutions;
- Developing the skills and competencies across the business to drive action within operations, editorial and content production teams, and;
- Playing an important role in contributing to the industry and economy-wide transition.
The 大象传媒 recognises that climate change and bio-diversity loss are real, serious and urgent, and this plan details the strategy it is putting in place to reduce its environmental impact.
Earlier this year, the globally-respected Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved the 大象传媒鈥檚 Long-Term Targets to reduce all emissions by at least 90% by 2050, building on its existing Near-Term Targets to halve emissions by 2030.
This Transition Plan explains how the 大象传媒 will reach this target, and how Net Zero is one of the three pillars of the 大象传媒鈥檚 Sustainability strategy, along with Nature Positive and People Positive.
These pillars underpin and shape the 大象传媒鈥檚 climate ambitions for the future, aligned with the its mission to inform, educate and entertain all audiences, and the broadcaster鈥檚 Value for All strategy.
The 大象传媒 expects to update its Transition Plan and will continue to review its approach to ensure that it always meets the highest standards in sustainability practice, reporting and disclosures.
Danielle Mulder, Director of Sustainability, says: 鈥淭his Transition Plan will support the 大象传媒鈥檚 journey to Net Zero and is a hugely important milestone as we commit to a low-carbon future.
鈥淕iven the importance of climate change and biodiversity loss, we know our commitment to Net Zero matters to our staff, our suppliers and our audiences. We invite everyone we work with to get involved as we reduce our environmental impact.鈥�
