BskyB Environmental Report
Executive Summary

This is the first BSkyB corporate environmental report (CER) and presents the Company’s position on key environmental issues.  The report has been developed following the completion of an environmental review of the Company’s activities and the adoption of an environmental policy statement.  It provides:

  • Factual information and data on the actual and potential environmental impacts associated with our activities, products and services, and the arrangements that are currently in place to manage these impacts.
  • The environmental policy statement which sets out our overall aims, objectives and principles of action in relation to the environment.
  • An overview of the programme (including objectives and targets) for achieving overall policy commitments.
  • A number of case studies of current good practice within BSkyB.
As this report shows, our primary business activities do not produce major environmental impacts; however, there are always opportunities to improve performance and this can only be achieved after recognising the effects that we have (both adverse and beneficial).  We are now developing realistic targets for performance improvement.  This will be the key to unlock the commitment within the policy statement and to provide a suitable framework for the company to progress it’s environmental management and responsibilities.

The nature and approach to environmental reporting is evolving.  Guidance is growing and undoubtedly our Environmental Report will change over time.  For example, additional community and sustainability issues could be included in the next report.  The current report focus is to provide a clear statement of the Company’s current environmental performance, consistent with stakeholder expectations, that provides the framework for the future.
