The BAFTA Albert Consortium

02 August 13

The consortium is chaired by BAFTA CEO, Kevin Price, membership includes All3Media, BBC, Channel 4, Endemol, IMG, ITV, Kudos, Sky, Talkback Thames, Twofour and UKTV.

The BAFTA albert consortium recognise the benefit of collaboration and actively seek partnership from other creative industries addressing sustainability. Sharing many of the challenges and opportunities, the consortium have formed a partnership with Julie’s Bicycle. Kevin Price, Chief Operating Officer at BAFTA, said: “Individually, the creative industries have done much to promote and embed sustainable practices. Nevertheless, by sharing opportunities, challenges and aspirations across the sector we stand to achieve much more. Our challenges and solutions are by no means unique and I firmly believe a collaborative approach to be a catalyst for greater progress.”

The consortium provide training on the use of albert and techniques in sustainable production as well as providing strategic direction for the group. Furthermore, the group define best practise and work collaboratively with associations and suppliers to help the industry move towards sustainable ways of working.

The work of the group is facilitated by a range of technical consortium partners, all of whom are contributing to Albert on a charitable basis. They are: Aerian Studios (design and branding), The Sustainable Business Practice (sustainability consultants giving 'rolling assurance' to Albert through footprint checking), Microsoft (who have granted BAFTA a licence to use the Enterprise edition of SharePoint, the software on which Albert is built), Outsourcery (who are providing web hosting) and Sharepoint City who have built and maintain Albert.
