Wider Initiatives & Resources
albert
albert are leading a charge against climate change; uniting the screen industries to make a positive environmental impact and inspiring audiences to act for a sustainable future. They aim to share, learn and act on our environmental impact. As Albert is funded by the industry, all their tools and training are free.
Their training provides knowledge and skills to create productions more sustainably through focusing on environmental basics, the industry’s impact, production case studios and carbon calculation and certification.
albert have also done all the heavy lifting by compiling a list of sustainable suppliers serving those in advertising, TV and film production. The list can be filtered, making it even easier to find what you’re looking for.
albert has also created the Creative Energy programme, where every two years they negotiate access to the cleanest, greenest, planet-protecting business electricity tariffs on offer for our industry.
The current supplier is GOOD ENERGY, whose power is generated from 100% renewable sources including sun, wind, biogen and water, from their community of over 1500 independent generators across the UK.
To enquire about renewable energy for your space, whether it’s a studio, production company, advertising agency, casting studio or equipment rental company office you can do so by using the button below:
Ad Net zero
The UK advertising industry has acknowledged its contribution to carbon emissions and has put a plan in place to reverse that, Ad Net Zero– an initiative launched by The Advertising Association in 2020.
The ambition is to get the climate impact of our industry’s operations down to ‘real net zero’, in terms of carbon output, within this decade. This goal is within our reach by the end of 2030, through a clear series of actions:
Action 1: Getting your house in order – advertising business operations
Action 2: Curbing emissions from advertising productions
Action 3: Curbing emissions from media planning, buying and distribution
Action 4: Curbing emissions through awards and from events
Action 5: Harnessing advertising’s power to support consumer behaviour change
Purpose Distributors
Are a network of industry insiders with the aim of tackling climate change. They carefully design and curate the opportunities for people to meet, learn about our climate emergency and take collective action. They do this by launching an array of effective campaigns and initiatives such as:
#ChangeTheBrief
An initiative enabling production companies to respond to client briefs in a way that promotes more sustainable values, attitudes and behaviours in clients’ audiences. The alliance is made up of agencies bound by a singular desire to solve the climate crisis through their use of collective communication skills.
The Great Reset
A movement to maintain the positive environmental behaviours developed during lockdown. Led by the Purpose Disruptors, over 7 months between April and October 2020, more than 700 individuals and agencies collaborated to create a white paper, launch film and digital hub. A creative competition attracted 160 entries to an open brief. 8 winners produced work which formed a national campaign in donated media space (outdoor, press, radio and digital) reaching an audience of 18 million people.
