Christmas TV productions achieve albert sustainability certification

In a recent issue of Zerb, we introduced the important work BAFTA is doing through its albert initiative, which encourages and rewards productions that improve their carbon footprint through using sustainable and recycled products for sets, reducing energy consumption, cutting down on print and paper, and improving waste in catering.
