Sony have produced a sustainability document to establish the perspective of its customers to the importance of sustainability.
“The media and entertainment industry has a broad reach, a global footprint and an incredibly
significant cultural impact.
But so is its ramifications on the environment. And because of that, the industry has taken steps
to address the planet’s increasingly urgent environmental challenges.
But do industry stakeholders feel like they’re doing enough? That’s what we wanted to find out.
We asked people working in the media and entertainment industry across Europe about their
views on sustainability – the good, the bad and the ugly. We followed two lines of enquiry, first
asking about the organisations they work for, then about the wider industry.
In this report, we present our findings on the state of sustainability in the media and
entertainment industry.
Our findings reveal a complex landscape marked by growing awareness of environmental issues
and the need to do more. However, organisations’ lofty sustainability ambitions are unfortunately
often hindered by financial constraints, a lack of clear expectations, and ingrained industry
behaviours. All of which need to be addressed if we’re to accelerate progress on sustainability.”
