Among them, what started as a trial of “doing what you can do” was the acquisition of “Albert Certification” in the program, and the program that was subject to the trial was BS-TBS’s “Style 2030 The Future Projected by the Wise Man”. I said it was

I have to,” he said of the challenges ahead. comment
■Nami Inoue (General Manager, Sustainability Creation Center, TBS Holdings) “Reducing the environmental impact of program production” is one of the themes that the broadcasting industry must face in the future, so I think that the “Style 2030” initiative that the TBS Group has collaborated on is very significant. . This time, I also talked about other TBS initiatives such as carbon neutrality at major facilities and hydrogen relay vehicles, but news and information programs are becoming paperless using tablets, and we are able to reduce paper use by 60 to 70%. It was impressive that there was a high level of interest in the story that there was. I hope that similar efforts will be made in the industry in the future.
■ Akiko Miyazaki (Head of TBS Sparkle Branding Planning Office) The most important points are “given that the site can feel the merit” and “creating an atmosphere that the site can enjoy”.
However, this time, the SDGs were the theme of the program, and the positive attitude of the staff and related parties led to the acquisition of certification. Since it takes a lot of time and money, it is difficult to continue with the power of the production company alone.
I hope that it will help promote the movement to reduce CO2 emissions at production sites as well.
