Our environmental responsibility starts with how we run our business. Through Ocean for Good, we’re working to reduce emissions, improve the efficiency of our screens, make more responsible procurement decisions and collaborate with our suppliers to reduce our impact across the value chain.
Measuring our carbon footprint
We measure our Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions annually with support from Watts Sustainability. This helps us understand where our biggest impacts lie, track our progress and identify where further reductions are needed.
In 2025, our reported carbon footprint was 7,058 tCO₂e, a 7.6% reduction compared with 2024 and a 36.4% reduction against our 2022 baseline.
Our near-term science-based targets are to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 81% and Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030, against our 2022 baseline. We have already exceeded our Scope 1 and 2 reduction target, achieving an 85% reduction five years ahead of schedule. We’re continuing to focus on reducing emissions across our wider value chain as we work towards net zero by 2040.
Our targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and we’re certified to ISO 14001, supporting a structured approach to managing our environmental responsibilities.
Energy and screen efficiency
Since 2019, electricity sourced and paid for by us has been 100% green from sustainable suppliers. We’re continuing to focus on energy efficiency and responsible screen operation to help reduce our environmental impact.
We use LED technology, automatic dimming and operating-hour controls to manage energy use and limit unnecessary light pollution. Where appropriate, we also adjust brightness to take account of sensitive locations and their surroundings.
In Q1 2024, we upgraded the LED lighting at BFI IMAX, reducing energy use by 30%.
Sustainable technology and procurement
Our supply chain is one of the most important areas in our journey towards net zero. In 2025, purchased goods and services, capital goods such as screen hardware, and electricity used by landlord-owned screens together accounted for just over 70% of our reported carbon footprint.
We’re working with our suppliers to improve emissions data, understand the impact of our technology and installations, and identify opportunities to reduce emissions through more efficient equipment and responsible procurement.
This includes considering environmental performance when selecting products and suppliers, improving the information available on the carbon footprint of our screens, and exploring lower-impact materials and installation methods.
Working with our suppliers
Reducing our environmental impact requires collaboration across our value chain. We work with suppliers to understand their environmental practices, improve the quality of emissions data and identify practical opportunities to reduce our shared footprint.
By combining better measurement with more informed procurement and operational decisions, we’re working to make progress that can be measured and sustained.
