What is BAFTA Albert Certification?
BAFTA Albert certification is the UK screen industry’s recognised standard for environmental sustainability in film and TV production. It celebrates productions that have actively measured, reduced and evidenced action to minimise their environmental impact.
Born out of the BBC’s carbon calculator created in 2009, the certification became a BAFTA led industry standard in 2011, marking fifteen years of progress in 2026.
Why it matters
BAFTA Albert certification is now embedded across the UK industry and is increasingly required by major broadcasters, streamers and funders. It provides a clear, trusted framework for accountability, helps productions cut carbon emissions, and sends a powerful signal to partners and audiences about a production’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Data gathered through the certification process also builds a dynamic, sector wide picture of environmental impact. These insights guide future action and inform progressive cross industry initiatives including SPARK: Clean Temporary Power by 2030.
