Our Net Zero Transition Plan

The BBC’s Path to Net Zero

Our Net Zero Transition Plan

The three pillars guide all our activities – from the way we make programmes, to how we manage our buildings and to how we engage with our suppliers and partners. 

We published our Net Zero Transition Plan in January 2025 which sets out how we will deliver against our Near and Long-Term Net Zero Targets 

Our plan

Our Near and Long-Term Targets confirm when and what our Net Zero ambition is and our Transition Plan explains how we'll implement our strategy through action and accountability.

Our Near and Long-Term Net Zero targets

Graph depicting a 46% reduction in our Greenhouse Gas Emissions and a 28% reduction in our Scope 3 emissions for our Near-Term 2030 targets and, at least, a 90% reduction across all scopes by 2050 from our baseline year of 2019.
The graph shows our near time targets (2030) for a 28% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 and 42.6% for Scope 3. The graph shows our near term targets (2030) which are a 28% emissions reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 and 42.6% for Scope 3 emissions. Our target is a 90% reduction in emissions for all scopes by 2050

We continually track progress within a governance framework which ensures challenges and issues are captured and escalated wherever necessary. We also report regularly to the various internal managerial groups, up to Executive Committee and Board levels.

We have developed targets across key areas, such as energy use, travel, waste, training and production which are outlined within our Net Zero Transition Plan.

This explains how we will become a true Net Zero organisation with at least 90% emissions reduction from FY2019/20 baseline year by 2050.
