3.10b What beliefs and mindset do creative industries business leaders hold on their environmental impacts? How do these affect business activities and action to reduce environmental impact?

Background

The creative industries play a key role in the net zero transition, both within their own industrial practices and as part of influencing the broader social and economic transition to a greener future. Ensuring green growth in the creative industries is an important aim for DCMS, requiring a range of diverse research methods and modes of analysis. We welcome knowledge and understanding of where the creative industries' environmental impacts occur, how they might best be mitigated and the role of the sector in supporting positive changes in society more generally.
