Publishing its first Climate Transition Plan, the BBC said it had been making “significant progress towards its science-based targets, aligning a commitment to world-renowned natural history programming with ambitious and tangible actions off-screen.”Action includes reducing emissions on acclaimed drama Blue Lights by replacing diesel fuel with HVO in generators and production trucks, to replacing refrigeration chillers and gas-fired boilers with heat pumps in its offices.Future plans include reducing, optimising and innovating its energy to low-carbon solutions; developing the skills and competencies across the business to drive action within operations, editorial and content production teams, and; playing an important role in contributing to the industry and economy-wide transition.Danielle Mulder, Director of Sustainability, said: “This Transition Plan will support the BBC’s journey to Net Zero and is a hugely important milestone as we commit to a low-carbon future.“Given the importance of climate change and biodiversity loss, we know our commitment to Net Zero matters to our staff, our suppliers and our audiences. We invite everyone we work with to get involved as we reduce our environmental impact.”Earlier this year, the globally-respected Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved the BBC’s Long-Term Targets to reduce all emissions by at least 90% by 2050, building on its existing Near-Term Targets to halve emissions by 2030.
