Climate Change Data

Environmental Metrics

ESG Focus Areas

• Climate Change

Environmental Achievements

• Developed the Production Environmental Accounting Report (PEAR) to measure carbon footprints of film and television productions.
• Provided industry-wide production carbon emission averages for member company productions.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Fuel consumption is a primary contributor to carbon footprint.
• Limitations in existing infrastructure (lack of grid power, charging stations) pose challenges to electrification.
• Continued growth of productions globally may lead to inadequate power in some facilities.
• Limited solutions for emissions associated with air travel.

Mitigation Strategies

• Prioritizing transition to clean, renewable energy solutions (electric/hybrid vehicles, renewable diesel, grid tie-ins, battery generator technology).
• Further investment in infrastructure (power drops for grid access, more onsite renewables, clean power purchases).
• Adoption of LED lighting to reduce electrical demand.
• Exploring and developing solutions to reduce environmental impact.

Supply Chain Management

Responsible Procurement

• Vendor database to help find local companies that offer sustainable products and services for production.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Difficulty in quantifying and attributing emissions from certain parts of the film and TV production value chain.
• Data collection challenges in accurately estimating waste-related emissions due to shared spaces and general facilities management contracts.

Mitigation Strategies

• Developing a minimum boundary for Scope 3 emissions in film and television production to focus on the most impactful and attributable emissions.
• Providing guidance on emissions allocation among different entities in the value chain.
