I’m delighted that the BBC’s long-term Net Zero targets to reduce all emissions by at least 90% by 2050 have been verified by the globally respected Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). https://lnkd.in/euwhzqeW It builds on our near-term targets approved by the SBTi in 2021. This accreditation is an endorsement of the BBC’s ‘deep decarbonisation’ strategy – to set targets that are underpinned by science and cut our emissions as quickly as we can. It includes the way we make programmes and services, our buildings and operations and our supply chain. As part of the BBC Group, BBC Studios has an important role to play in achieving these targets and it’s work that we’re already undertaking. For example, we’ve used generator telematics on BBC Studios Productions to track and reduce energy consumption and when we need fuel, the more carbon-efficient certified HVO is becoming standard. And of course, last year 98% of BBC Studios’ UK productions were once again on track to achieve their BAFTA albert carbon action plans. These are the kind of innovations that have cemented our reputation as a world leader in operating sustainably on and off screen, and our continued innovation in the field will be key to achieving our ambitious goal to achieve true Net Zero by 2050.
