We are proud to partner on the new Studio Sustainability Standard which launched today to help studios measure and reduce the environmental impact of their facilities. The global, voluntary scheme has been designed by albert – the industry organisation for environmental sustainability in TV in film – alongside global engineering and consulting firm Arup.
The Studio Sustainability Standard is designed to help studio facilities used for filming to reduce their environmental impact by focusing on six key areas: Climate, Circularity, Nature, People, Management and Data. Studios who take part in the scheme will submit data annually under each key area for assessment. In return, each studio will receive a bespoke sustainability report impact, as well as an overall sustainability score, allowing studios to compare themselves to the wider industry standard.
By taking part, individual studios will be able to build up a holistic picture of their environmental impact. The bespoke sustainability report they receive will lay out the key findings and allow studios to make targeted, business decisions that can have a positive impact on the facility, a production’s carbon footprint and the wider environment. In addition, the studio will also receive a grade which will allow them to benchmark their own progress and compare themselves to other studio facilities across the globe.
The Studio Sustainability Standard has been designed with a number of leading studios including: BBC Studioworks, The Bottle Yard Studios, BT Sport Studios – Stratford, Ealing Studios, Elstree Studios, FOX, Sky Studios Elstree, Sony Pictures Entertainment, The British Film Commission, The British Film Institute, Members of The Sustainable Production Alliance, The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden and Wolf Studio Wales.
