On February 4, 2020, the Sky Group announced its commitment to reduce its CO2 footprint to net zero emissions by 2030. This goal includes emissions generated by users of Sky products, Sky suppliers worldwide, and those produced by the company's own business operations.
Corporate Information
The plans of the Sky Group are designed to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, demonstrating its commitment to supporting the Business Ambition for 1.5°C of the United Nations Global Compact. The Sky Group was the world's first media company to become carbon-neutral in 2006, and in Germany and Austria, it has been carbon-neutral since 2016. Now, the Sky Group is taking a further step by reducing the carbon footprint of its entire value chain to net zero emissions by 2030. The Sky Group's value chain includes emissions from direct business operations, as well as those from 11,000 suppliers and the product usage of millions of Sky customers. The Sky Group is transitioning its entire vehicle fleet to zero emissions, products like Sky Q will become even more efficient, and the new studios, Sky Studios Elstree, will be among the world's most sustainable production facilities, with all Sky Originals also being produced net carbon-free.
Inspiring Others to #GoZero
To inspire others to join #GoZero, Sky is spreading this message across all channels and programming. The Sky Group has been committed to environmental protection for over a decade, from "Sky Rainforest" to "Sky Ocean Rescue." Sky now aims to use its own channels to inform and educate viewers on how to reduce their own CO2 footprint and join #GoZero. Sky Ocean Rescue will continue its efforts to protect the oceans. The £25 million investment fund, Sky Ocean Ventures, will continue to support innovations that stop plastic pollution in our oceans.
