BBC Carbon Management Scoping Study

We have recently undertaken a Carbon Management Scoping Study for the BBC, co-funded by the Carbon Trust. The main purpose of the commission was to support the implementation of the BBC’s Environment Strategy including a 20% reduction target in carbon intensity per staff member to be achieved over the five year period to 2012/13. The scope of the work included:
  • Data gathering via consultation with key departments to produce a carbon baseline
  • A desktop assessment and ‘gap analysis’ of energy/carbon savings projects identified to-date
  • A financial assessment of the potential ‘value-at-stake’ and potential return on investment from the implementation of a programme of energy savings projects across the UK estate
The results of the work were presented to the BBC’s Environment Committee, chaired by the Chief Operating Officer.
