reduction of our carbon footprint since 2008
We are committed to be Carbon Net Zero by 2030 across Scope 1 and 2 emissions and by 2045 across Scope 3.
Every team and function at Clear Channel plays an active role in our advancing journey towards Carbon Net Zero.
As a responsible media and infrastructure business, sustainability is embedded into how we operate and we are supporting our industry, advertiser, municipality and business partners reach their environmental targets.
As part of our progress towards a Carbon Net Zero future, we are employing measures and investing in technologies that reduce our energy consumption.
We have been making our infrastructure more energy efficient for years and are setting increasingly ambitious targets, continuing to build on previous energy efficiencies.
We have for example replaced fluorescent lighting with bespoke LED alternatives, reduced digital advertising display hours and are introducing solar lighting on bus shelters as well as installing 50% more energy efficient digital displays.
We have focused on reducing carbon footprint and other environmental impacts across our operations, estate and premises while pioneering other environmental initiatives.
We were the first Out of Home media owner to upgrade to LED tubes in Classic advertising panels nationwide at scale.
We are replacing company vehicles with electric or hybrid models only.
We have implemented an Enhanced Washing System, using rainwater to clean our estate and reducing water usage by 50% per wash.
We have been introducing 100% recyclable bus shelters and solar-powered courtesy lighting.
Rolling out Living Roofs and Vertical Meadows nationwide.
