Sky is set to go net zero carbon over the next ten years – looking to become Europe’s first net zero carbon media and entertainment company.
The Comcast-backed pay-tv broadcaster is aiming to achieve its goal by 2030 by cutting the emissions created from the use of its products, its suppliers across the world and by its business.
It is planning to make all of its tech products more energy efficient, developing sustainable film and TV studios, making every Sky original production, show, film and TV channel net zero carbon and transforming its 5,000 vehicle fleet to create a zero emissions fleet.
It will also help the 11,000 companies that work with Sky include the tech firms that make its TV boxes or the production companies it employs and will plant trees, mangroves and seagrass to absorb the carbon it can’t cut yet.
Sky will seek validation of its targets from...
