Climate Impact and Resilient Operations

Climate Impact and Resilient Operations

WBD is committed to operating responsibly and efficiently through identifying and integrating resilient practices, which support a more competitive business and a healthier environment for our employees, consumers, and communities. We prioritize efforts to minimize our impact on the environment across our workplaces and productions.

 

As a media company and in support of corporate resiliency, we focus our efforts on climate impacts that are relevant to our industry where we have the most opportunity to make progress. We are committed to lowering our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to investing in renewable energy to reduce costs and increase business continuity. Since the Company’s formation in 2022, we have continued to assess and build a longer-term, enterprise-level strategy to reduce our climate impact.

Throughout 2024, we took steps to build on the energy management work we started in 2023. For example, aligned to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines, we engaged a third-party to analyze the climate-related physical and transition risks and their potential impacts on the Company’s operations, infrastructure, and supply chain. Throughout the year, we enhanced our capabilities to track more robust datasets and ensure thorough validation processes as we continue to implement a technology platform. Additionally, our teams continued to prepare for future climate-related disclosure requirements.

Looking forward, we will focus on improving our ability to measure and report enterprise-level GHG emissions, leveraging new technology, identifying additional emissions-reduction levers, and developing a roadmap to optimize energy and resource efficiency.

Reducing Our GHG Emissions

We believe efforts to reduce emissions are important to the ongoing success of our business as a leading global media and entertainment company. As part of our commitment to reduce operational emissions, we continued to identify opportunities and implement initiatives to create sustainable workplaces and productions such as increasing operational energy efficiency, investing in and utilizing existing renewable energy projects and purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs) and carbon offsets when appropriate.1
