Certify the studio. Not just the production.

A facility-level sustainability framework and Standard Operating Procedure for film and TV studios — climate, circularity, nature, people, management and data — built around the real KPI framework of the BAFTA albert Studio Sustainability Standard, Round 4 (2027/2028 cycle).

Assessing a specific film, show or commercial rather than the facility itself? See Sustainable Movie Certification for Climactix's production-level engine.
Positioning

The facility has a footprint too.

A studio's physical infrastructure — sound stages, lighting circuits, generators, water systems, waste contracts, green space, and workforce policies — creates a sustainability performance that exists independently of any single production shooting there. Climactix's Studio Sustainability Certification assesses that facility-level performance, so studio landlords and operators can measure, evidence and improve it directly.

This module
Studio Sustainability Certification

For studio landlords, sound stage operators and permanent production facilities. Assesses the site itself — energy generation, water, waste infrastructure, nature, workforce wellbeing and management systems — independent of any one production.

Sibling module
Sustainable Movie Certification

For individual productions — features, OTT series, commercials, documentaries. Logs activity data day-by-day across a specific shoot and converts it into a Climactix Production Sustainability Score.

Studio Sustainability Framework

Five scored pillars. One mandatory data section.

Every KPI below is drawn from the published BAFTA albert Studio Sustainability Standard Round 4 question set. Climactix documents it as a Standard Operating Procedure — an owner, a procedure, a frequency and an evidence requirement for each one.

Standard Operating Procedure

Every KPI, with its procedure, owner and evidence.

This is reference material, not a data-entry tool — day-to-day activity data for a studio is already collected in the Climactix Green Production platform. For the full Standard Operating Procedure — objective, step-by-step procedure, responsible role, frequency and evidence to retain for every KPI group below — see the Studio Sustainability SOP document.

Data & Reporting

The Round 4 standard requires 38 mandatory data fields alongside the 66 scored KPIs above (35 directly reported, 3 calculated). Collection ownership and cadence for each field is defined in Section 6 of the Studio Sustainability SOP; live values live in the Climactix Green Production platform, not here.

Certification Levels

Climactix Studio Certification.

These are Climactix Global certification levels, using the same tier structure as Climactix's production-level certification. They are issued following independent review of a studio's submitted evidence — not from self-reported answers alone — and do not imply BAFTA albert or any government accreditation.

Bronze
40+ / 100
Baseline established
  • Energy & water sub-metering in place
  • Basic waste segregation
Establish metering and segregation across the site before targeting Silver.
Silver
55+ / 100
Structured management
  • + Sustainability targets & monitoring
  • + ≥3 segregated waste streams
Formalise a sustainability policy with targets and regular review.
Gold
70+ / 100
Active reduction
  • + ≥25% on-site or tariff renewables
  • + Low-VOC / certified timber sourcing
Reach a documented renewable electricity share and green space plan.
Platinum
82+ / 100
Facility-wide performance
  • + Majority renewable electricity
  • + Biodiversity / nature investment
Demonstrate site-wide performance across all five pillars, not isolated wins.
Diamond
92+ / 100
Verified leadership
  • + 100% high-quality renewable electricity
  • + Third-party assurance of scorecard data
Maintain performance and publish a verified year-over-year improvement plan.

A sustainable studio is not a claim. It is a measurable performance.

Climactix measures it.
Climactix assesses the evidence.
Climactix certifies the outcome.

Evidence-Based Credential

We don't certify claims. We assess evidence.

Climactix reviews the documentation behind a studio's KPI answers — not the answers alone.

  • Utility meter records (electricity, gas, water)
  • Renewable tariff / REGO certificates
  • Waste contractor volume & recycling reports
  • Timber certification (FSC / PEFC / SFI)
  • Sustainable procurement policy
  • Climate Change Risk Assessment & mitigation plan
  • EDI policy & training records
  • Mental Health First Aider register
  • Green space / biodiversity survey
  • Community investment records
  • Approved third-party supplier lists
  • Independent verification sign-off

Assessment Process

Self-assessment, then independent review.

The Round 4 methodology is explicit about this sequence: a self-assessed score, followed by independent review of the underlying evidence.

Self-Assessment
  • Answer each KPI
  • Provide a short narrative per answer
  • Live composite score
  • Identify improvement areas
Evidence Submission
  • Attach documented evidence
  • Complete mandatory data section
  • Internal or third-party data verification
Independent Assessment
  • Evidence reviewed against answers
  • Grade & certification level issued
  • Report with improvement areas
