Aiming to reduce its waste and emissions, London-based “Idol” producer-distributor Fremantle has formed a partnership with Albert, a collaborative industry-backed project aimed at tackling the environmental impact of the entertainment sector.
Founded in 2011, Albert is governed by an industry consortium that includes BAFTA, independent companies and broadcasters.
Fremantle is working with Albert to develop a version of Albert’s carbon calculator, which tracks emissions caused by productions, for use by global businesses and production houses. The companies hope to use Fremantle’s global scale and Albert’s industry clout to provide the international production community the opportunity to accurately track their carbon emissions.
According to Albert research, one hour of television produced creates 13.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions – the equivalent of running three homes with gas and electricity for a whole year.
Albert’s carbon calculator has been available in the U.K. since 2011 and is currently used by more than 900 British companies.
