Sky Sustainable Production Guidance
At Sky, we’re committed to a more sustainable future. We’re working hard to build a low carbon economy and inspire positive change for the planet.
We know telly has a unique power to ignite positive change.
We partner with producers to track and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by completing Albert certification and inspire climate-positive change through our content which we then share and advocate for across our industry.
Whether innovating in your department, engaging with sustainable suppliers, or looking for climate messaging opportunities, we are grateful to everyone for playing their part in making a positive impact.
HOW SKY SHOWS MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES:
- Prioritising renewable grid power and eliminating diesel in generators, replacing it with HVO (a waste cooking oil) can reduce emissions by up to 90% (source: The Fuel Project, Film London, 2024).
- Choosing trains over planes can save up to 97% of carbon emissions (source: Our World in Data, 2023).
- Using recycled materials and donating props
- Asking suppliers for their sustainability policies
