Carbon Reduction Commitment
The PLASA Carbon Reduction Commitment recognises and highlights members who are actively working to measure, reduce, and manage their carbon emissions. By signing the commitment, organisations commit to understanding their environmental impact and aligning their operations with the global path to Net Zero.
Together, we are fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement within the entertainment technology industry, demonstrating that positive change is both achievable and essential. The badge is a symbol of recognition for our members’ commitment.

Carbon Literacy Training provides individuals with a clear understanding of climate change, its impacts, and the practical steps they can take to reduce carbon emissions in their professional and personal lives.
The PLASA-designed Carbon Literacy course is tailored specifically to the unique needs of the entertainment technology industry, addressing real-world challenges and opportunities our members face. By taking part, you’ll gain relevant, actionable knowledge, strengthen your sustainability credentials, and contribute to a more resilient, future-focused industry.

The UK Government has set a target for Net Zero by 2050. We know how hard it is to understand the requirements and best practices when it comes to reducing your carbon footprint. That’s why we’ve teamed up with sustainability expert Phoebe Currie to provide all PLASA members with the support they need to understand and implement a Carbon Reduction Plan.
Change is hard and requires commitment. All steps you take, no matter how small, are positive ones, so now’s the time to take your first step toward reducing your carbon footprint. Download our guidance documents below for your first introduction to the support we can provide. This is guidance for businesses that are just starting their journeys and don’t have any mandatory reporting requirements.
The Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) outlines an organisation’s goals and objectives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It provides a transparent roadmap for achieving these goals, identifying specific actions to be taken, and setting targets for emission reductions.
It contains a commitment to a target, your baseline carbon footprint, carbon footprints for previous years, actions taken to reduce carbon emissions and further actions you will take to reach your target.
