The BAFTA albert 2023 Annual Review is here. This is the most comprehensive sustainability review that albert has released, looking at the progress made by the film and TV industries in improving environmental sustainability. 2023 was the year the industry reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability with over 3,000 productions tracking their carbon footprint, more films and international productions using the toolkit and the first ever Climate Themes Snapshot revealing 31% of albert certified productions included climate references. In this year’s report, we have also highlighted the significant efforts across the industry to address the impact of climate change on production and raise awareness through storytelling.
