In the rapidly evolving media landscape, sustainability has transitioned from a moral choice to a regulatory necessity. Spearheading this change is Barbara Lange, former executive director of SMPTE, with her sustainability consultancy, Kibo121, who is working with the data experts here at Dot Group. This partnership is pivotal in guiding media businesses through the complexities of environmental and social responsibility.
Key to this transition is understanding emission scopes as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, encompassing direct, indirect, and value chain emissions. Dot Group’s data management prowess is instrumental in aiding businesses to effectively report and strategise around these sustainability metrics.
However, sustainability in media isn’t just about compliance; it’s about integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into the core business strategy. This holistic approach goes beyond energy concerns, influencing creative decisions and operational practices.
The world at large is fast becoming concerned at the irreparable damage climate change is causing and wants to see all its industries behaving responsibly.
