Scottish Youth Film Foundation (SYFF), a charity dedicated to empowering young people through film, plays a vital role in nurturing creativity, confidence, and storytelling skills across Scotland. Committed to making a positive impact beyond the film industry, SYFF has been working to integrate sustainability into its operations. While the organisation had taken initial steps to assess its carbon footprint, gaining a clear and structured understanding – particularly of Scope 3 emissions – proved challenging. To build a more comprehensive assessment and identify key areas for improvement, SYFF partnered with Boxfish for expert support.
Boxfish partnered with SYFF to conduct a Carbonbaseline assessment, focusing on indirect emissions (Scope 3), such as business travel, commuting, and other operational activities. Given the nature of the organisation, these emissions represent the most significant portion of its carbon footprint. The assessment helped quantify emissions and identify key sources, providing SYFF with valuable insights into its environmental impact. Boxfish also delivered practical recommendations tailored to SYFF’s unique operations, enabling the charity to take meaningful steps toward sustainability while maintaining operational effectiveness.
With the Carbonbaseline report, SYFF now has a clear understanding of its current emissions and a solid foundation for their sustainability journey. The insights and recommendations provided by Boxfish support SYFF in integrating sustainability into their operations and progressing towards their Net Zero ambitions, while also strengthening its ability to secure funding and engage stakeholders effectively.
Partnering with Boxfish has been invaluable in helping us take control of our sustainability journey. Their expertise and clear guidance have given us a deeper understanding of our emissions, enabling us to take meaningful steps toward our Net Zero ambitions. The Carbon Baseline Report serves as a strong foundation for setting future goals and reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility.
