Our Suppliers
We've started to look at how environmentally friendly our key suppliers are and to encourage them to improve their energy efficiency.
Spreading the message
During 2006 we organised events with suppliers and business partners to share what we've learnt about tackling climate change. This included preview screenings of An Inconvenient Truth. In London and Manchester we followed the screenings with panel debates on the role of business in tackling climate change. Since then, ten of Sky's key suppliers have become carbon neutral.
Supplier workshops
We've run a series of workshops aimed at helping our suppliers and business partners to make the products and services they provide to Sky more environmentally friendly. These workshops are based on setting up ‘environmental management systems' in line with British Standard BS8555. For more information on BS8555 visit www.iema.net/acorn. We're planning a new series of activities with our suppliers in the coming year.
