Viaplay recognised for its green credentials

Company plans to launch a programme supporting sustainable production practices in 2023

Viaplay Group has been recognised for its sustainability performance for the second year in a row.

The company has been ranked eighth in a list of 294 global media businesses by Sustainalytics, an organisation that assess a company’s exposure to industry-specific material sustainability risks, and how well the company is managing these risks.

Viaplay Group’s score has improved year-over-year, and the company is classified as low risk.

In addition, the company’s 2030 emission reduction targets for greenhouse gases (GHG) have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) as in line with the Paris Agreement’s trajectory for limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Anders Jensen, Viaplay Group president and CEO said: “We are proud that our sustainability leadership in our industry and region is so widely recognised. At the same time, we can do even more. Viaplay Group’s emission reduction targets are now officially aligned with the Paris Agreement’s most ambitious trajectory – exactly what is required from one of the world’s most sustainable entertainment providers.”

Lena De Geer, Viaplay Group head of sustainability added: “Our positive impact continues to grow and in 2023 will be broader than ever. For instance, we will launch a programme supporting sustainable production practices, contribute to meaningful climate change mitigation and safeguard responsible productions. We aim to lead by example while engaging even more with our partners and industry.”
