ESG
We’re getting even better.
Our commitment to ESG is core to delivering our purpose and values.
Our societal purpose is to capture the story, emotion and detailed action from events all around the world, so that audiences, regardless of location or means, can trust, learn from and feel enriched by high quality screen entertainment and live events.
Our environmental purpose is to conduct our work with careful consideration for the natural environment, to minimise our use of natural resources and to harness innovation and collaboration to reduce our environmental impact worldwide.
These efforts will be enabled through our people centric culture embracing inclusivity and growth; and by embedding strong governance to hold ourselves accountable to our commitments.
Our aim is to reduce our carbon emissions in line with the latest climate science to reach a long-term goal of net zero emissions, and to increase diversity and inclusion across the Broadcast Media industry.
Initially focussing on the areas of sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and employee wellbeing, we are developing a full and comprehensive ESG strategy across all of our operations, that will enable us to realise our goals.
With strong employee engagement across all levels and functions of the business, we have a very solid foundation to build on.

We offer tailored solutions for productions of all types and sizes, streamlining facilities, workflows, and content delivery on a global scale.
This approach not only helps to reduce travel emissions but also improves operational resilience, particularly in regions vulnerable to extreme weather events, by enabling technology and technical staff to operate remotely.
Our ground-breaking remote production solution for the Formula E Series received two notable accolades. The first being the prestigious CSI Award for ‘Best Remote or Virtual Production’ and the second, ‘Best Use of Remote Production’ at Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards.
Our approach not only drives sustainability but also fosters the next generation of broadcast talent. By providing access to state-of-the-art equipment and hands-on experience, we help nurture young professionals and ensure the long-term success of the industry.
Considering these multiple benefits, building our remote production offering, in alignment with our clients’ needs, is a central objective in our sustainability strategy.
Our Future Mission
We are committed to being a model of sustainability, upholding ethical conduct, integrating environmental stewardship, and social responsibility in all our operations and endeavours.
Our first priority is to develop a near term target science aligned, underpinned by a detailed emissions reduction plan that will focus on transport, energy consumption and supply chain engagement. Once underway, our focus will turn to developing a longer term net zero target to be achieved by 2050 at the latest.
Our supply chain is a vital partner in supporting our ESG goals. We are proactively working towards improving our data quality for Scope 3 emissions so that we can collaborate with our vendors to collectively reduce our environmental impact. Our ethical procurement policies and procedures will remain a priority to ensure we work with partners who align to our ESG commitment and values.
We recognise the value that diverse talent brings to our organisation, enriching our perspectives, driving innovation, and fuelling our collective success. To further advance our commitment, we will actively promote diversity, equality, and inclusion across our workforce and beyond. This includes setting clear targets to address the underrepresentation of certain groups within different business functions and levels of seniority. Moreover, we understand that inclusive behaviour is paramount to creating a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging and is empowered to thrive.
