Net Zero Strategies in Media Thematic Overview
Net zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to as close to zero as possible. Firms that achieve net zero emissions are called “carbon neutral.” Companies are under pressure to cut emissions as countries aim to achieve their climate commitments. Emissions are offset by supporting projects that reduce emissions or remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
Business operations generate Scope 1 and 2 emissions which make up more than 30% of total emissions on average. The main contributors to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in the media sector are electricity and fuel.

Media Sector - Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions Strategies
Media companies are reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions through three key strategies which are carbon offsets, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and green content production. A single carbon offset represents the avoidance or removal of one ton of CO2e from the atmosphere. By far the most popular type of offset is an avoidance offset. In an avoidance offset, a project reduces emissions compared to a baseline scenario in which the project was not undertaken. Most avoidance projects aim to protect forests from deforestation.
For Scope 3 emissions, media companies set up emission targets, launch and participate in internal and industry-wide emission reduction projects, engage with suppliers, and ensure that emissions from business travels and employee commuting are reduced. In addition, media companies encourage renewable energy usage in data centers and encourage consumers to consume products and services in more carbon-friendly ways.
