Impact | Reducing our emissions

Reducing our emissions

Transitioning towards a low-carbon economy

We’re transforming our business by designing tech with energy efficiency and recyclability in mind, reducing waste and supporting our operations with renewable energy.

Our UK and Ireland operations purchase and match 100% renewable electricity. We’re transitioning to electric vehicles for our fleet. Our TV productions prioritise sustainability behind-the-scenes. And we’re finding new ways all the time to reduce our carbon emissions.

We’re part of albert, the TV industry sustainability consortium. We are also committed to the UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action framework.

See here for more detail about how we will deliver against our emissions reduction ambition.

 

Technology built with sustainability in mind

We design for energy efficiency, building products that are made to last. Once our customers have finished with their routers, set top boxes and tech products, we recondition and reuse them. And when they are no longer useful, we recycle them. All our packaging is 100% recyclable, responsibly sourced, and free from single-use plastics.

Tackling the climate crisis, through TV

People care about the planet, and across the world are feeling the effects of climate change. We’re using our channels and content to raise awareness of the climate crisis and its solutions, and mobilise individuals to act, inspiring change that can make a big difference.

Working with our suppliers to reduce emissions

We’re working with our partners, suppliers and production companies to reduce emissions across our value chain. We’re encouraging suppliers to set carbon reduction plans and move to renewable electricity. 

Investing in nature

Our priority is to lower our emissions as much as we can. It’s crucial though, that we reduce the impact of any emissions we can’t cut yet. We’ll do that by protecting and restoring natural habitats and biodiversity, so that plants and sea grass can absorb those carbon emissions. Our partners at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and WWF are helping us to maximise our impact, ensuring that these natural habitats are good for local communities, as well as the planet.

Working for a healthier planet for decades

For years, we’ve worked to create a healthier planet.
