Sustainability Apps

As the devastating effects of climate change are now so apparent, businesses are increasingly being made accountable for their carbon footprint. With new legislation coming into effect, that will impact many organisations, and with consumers increasingly expecting ethical practices from their suppliers, companies need to have the ability to report on their carbon emissions to work towards net zero.

Business Leaders,
Here’s What You Need To Know

If your company operates within the EU then the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) makes sustainability reporting a key priority. This new legislation mandates that all organisations, regardless of their size, must report their carbon emissions by 2027. Even for UK businesses, similar regulations are likely to emerge soon.

Regardless of the compliance aspect, consumers are becoming increasingly ethically conscious and expect their suppliers to be actively working towards net zero. Therefore, businesses need to be able to report on Scopes 1,2, and 3 to be able to track and gain visibility of their carbon footprint to be able to improve their environmental impact.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? Here are some of the most common things teams ask before getting started.

How does Creative Total Media's sustainability app help a production company measure and report its carbon footprint?

The sustainability apps built on Business Central allow production companies to capture emissions data at a transaction level, linking energy consumption, travel, freight, and purchased goods directly to production activity. This gives you an accurate, evidence-based carbon footprint per production rather than relying on industry averages or retrospective estimates.

Does the sustainability tracking tool align with recognised frameworks like BAFTA albert or the PACT sustainability guidelines?

Creative Total Media's sustainability apps are designed to support the data capture and reporting requirements aligned with industry sustainability frameworks used across UK broadcasting and production, including those promoted by BAFTA albert. This ensures your sustainability reporting meets the standards increasingly required by broadcasters and commissioning bodies.

Can we integrate sustainability data with our production finance data so we can see the cost and carbon impact of decisions together?

Yes. This integration is one of the key advantages of having sustainability tracking within the same Business Central platform as your production accounting. You can view financial spend and associated carbon emissions side by side, making it easier to identify where cost reductions and emissions reductions align, and to report on both dimensions to commissioners or investors.

How do we capture sustainability data across a production without creating a significant amount of extra administrative work for the production team?

The system is designed to capture emissions data from financial transactions that are already being processed (purchase orders, supplier invoices, travel expenses, and utility bills), so much of the data collection happens automatically as part of normal production accounting workflows. Supplementary data can also be captured through straightforward digital forms rather than complex manual processes.

Can Creative Total Media's sustainability tools help us meet the ESG reporting requirements that investors and broadcasters are increasingly asking for?

Yes. The sustainability reporting capability is designed to produce the kind of structured, auditable ESG data that institutional investors, public broadcasters, and major commissioning platforms are beginning to require. Having this embedded in your core finance system means the data is consistent, traceable, and ready for inclusion in annual reports, tender submissions, or broadcaster green certifications.
