Our scopes
When it comes to reporting progress, a company’s greenhouse gas emissions are classified into three scopes. Unlike some, we are measuring – and reporting – against all three.
Scope 1
This covers emissions from sources that we own or control directly, including company facilities, such as our offices. At 2% of our total emissions, scope 1 represents the lowest share of our emissions.
Scope 2
This covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity for our offices and our screens.
- As of April 2022, none of our screens (apart from Piccadilly Lights) operate on a 24 hour basis
- Since 2019 all electricity sourced and paid for by us is 100% green from sustainable suppliers
- In 2024, we upgraded the LEDs on BFI IMAX, reducing energy usage by 30%
Scope 3
This covers other indirect emissions including business travel, employee commuting and the supply of goods and services. We have worked with our supply chain and adjusted our procurement plan to effectively source sustainable materials. We also provide reusable water bottles for staff and have a recycling system in the office, including educational posters. Our employees are given access to sustainable travel such as a Cycle-to-work scheme, and we prioritise train travel where possible as an international business.
