TV Globo, a member of CEBDS, received the carbon-zero certification, due to the offsetting of all its CO2 emissions in 2018. The improvement in the company's energy efficiency reduced electricity consumption by approximately 30% in the five locations where Globo's own broadcasters are located (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Recife and Brasília) in the last three years. Globo also reduced water consumption for these operations by 18% between 2016 and 2018.
“More than offsetting CO2 emissions, we conducted a comprehensive study of the operations in our five regional offices so that this impact could in fact be reduced,” says Globo CEO Carlos Henrique Schroder. “Our energy matrix, for example, already consists of 93% from renewable sources – at Estúdios Globo [formerly Projac], this number reaches 100%.”
