I am confident that Shaunagh will lead our sustainability initiatives, to reduce our carbon footprint, and increase energy efficiency – keeping us on track to achieve our sustainable goals and become the leaders in the industry.”Matt Wilson, Chief Legal Officer at Fremantle, said: “The team is thrilled to have Shaunagh on board. Shaunagh will be a fantastic addition to the business, and her impressive experience will enable Fremantle to continue to take sustainable action across our productions and operations.”Duncan added: “I’m beyond excited to be joining Fremantle at this critical time for the industry and our planet. Studies from one of our partners, albert, found that one hour of TV content production produces about 13 tonnes of carbon emissions – about the same as your entire yearly carbon footprint if you live in the UK. The production industry is a century old and urgently needs transforming and I can’t wait to help bring the huge opportunities for Fremantle to be a part of that to life.”Fremantle aspires to create irresistible entertainment that doesn’t compromise the earth. Fremantle’s target is to be carbon neutral by 2030. To achieve this, Fremantle aims to reduce its business and production emissions by at least 50 per cent from a 2018 baseline. With a global audience of millions, Fremantle recognises its duty and responsibility to use its influence for good.
