For the second year in a row, ITV has disclosed to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This year ITV has been awarded an A-, putting us in the top 10% of companies that responded.

 In 2020, ITV achieved a grade B.

CDP is the most robust external assessment and benchmarking of ITV’s Climate Action plans on emission reductions and beyond.

This score puts ITV into ‘Leadership’ status, meaning that CDP has recognised ITV to be implementing current best practices. This puts us above the Europe regional average of B, and also higher than the Media, telecommunications & data center services sector average of B.

ITV has a rigorous internal plan to, as a business, make significant progress on climate action. ITV has science-based targets to ensure the business meets its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030. These include a commitment by 2030 to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46.2% and Scope 3 by 28%, setting a target to be zero waste by 2030, aiming for a 100% sustainable supply chain, and 100% of staff being trained in Climate Action. In addition ITV requires all its produced and commissioned productions to be certified by albert - BAFTA’s environmental organisation focused on reducing the waste and carbon footprint of the TV and film production industry. ITV also helped create the DIMPACT measurement system to quantify and help reduce the impact of digital content distribution.
