What is the BFI Sustainable Screen programme?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n
The BFI Sustainable Screen programme<\/a> 2023-2026 is designed to support both BFI National Lottery awardees \u2013 who are now asked to apply the principle of environmental sustainability to their funded activity \u2013 and the wider screen sector.<\/p>\n <\/div> \r\n <\/li>\r\n What is the deadline for meeting this years\u2019 reporting requirements?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n There are different reporting timelines depending on your project.<\/p>\n Fixed term projects:<\/strong>\u00a0If you are funded for a fixed term project that doesn\u2019t align with the financial year, you should report as soon as your project is completed and prior to your final drawdown request.<\/p>\n Multi-annual awardees:<\/strong>\u00a0Your designated reporting window is between\u00a01 May \u2013 30 June 2025<\/strong>. During this time, JB will have a dedicated team on hand with extra guidance and support to ease the process.<\/p>\n Film Academy awardees:<\/strong>\u00a0Please report by\u00a031st March 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have the data available, you can begin to add data to If there is a reason you cannot complete reporting by Monday 30th June 2025 (e.g. because your activities run in line with the school year for educational organisations) and you haven’t already told us, please send a message to the BFI Helpdesk<\/a> to let us know.<\/p>\n <\/div> \r\n <\/li>\r\n Why should we report on our environmental impacts?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n Using a carbon calculator tool such as the Julie\u2019s Bicycle Creative Climate Tools<\/a> can help to build your understanding of the environmental impacts of your activities and day to day operations. The results of a carbon footprint calculation can clearly show you the areas of your organisation\u2019s activity which have the greatest environmental impact.<\/p>\n Highlighting your main areas of impact can help you to focus and prioritise your environmental actions, set targets and track progress over time.<\/p>\n <\/div> \r\n <\/li>\r\n Why do we need to report as an organisation, not just the activity we are funded for through the BFI?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n Due to the variety of projects which are funded by the BFI, to simplify the process for awardees and provide meaningful carbon footprint data it is better to focus on the whole organisation. Many organisations already calculate a carbon footprint annually for their corporate or other funder reporting. We are asking you for your organisational footprint to reduce the amount of work you have to do to clarify the proportion of your footprint which is attributed to BFI funded activity.<\/p>\n <\/div> \r\n <\/li>\r\n What is the expectation for environmental impact reporting?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n As a BFI National Lottery awardee, you are expected to report on your environmental impacts and carbon footprint using Julie’s Bicycle’s Creative Climate Tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n Once a year, we will be looking at all data submitted in the tools, to help us see how things are going against the BFI National Lottery funding programme KPIs on awardee carbon footprint reporting and reduction.<\/p>\n <\/div> \r\n <\/li>\r\n My organisation receives funding through multiple BFI programmes – how should I report this?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n Focus on thinking about your whole organisation\u2019s activity, rather than the funded activity.<\/p>\n Use the footprint options on the Creative Climate Tools as a guide.<\/p>\n We already report on our environmental impact through Julie\u2019s Bicycle as we are an ACE NPO. Do I need to submit this again for the BFI?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n No, you do not need to submit the same data again in a different footprint to report for the BFI. Make sure to add the BFI to your profile as a funding organisation.<\/p>\n The reporting you already submit will cover any building impacts. Then you will want to think about any specific BFI funded activity e.g. a tour, festival or training course which can be reported on separately using the project footprint tools.<\/p>\n <\/div> \r\n <\/li>\r\n My organisation doesn\u2019t have an office space or venue\/ cultural building. What should I report on? <\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n If your organisation doesn\u2019t operate from an office or venue\/cultural building, then think about the \u2018Project\u2019 tools on the CC tools and your BFI funded activity.<\/p>\n I still have questions about reporting. Where can I get more support?<\/p>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div> \r\n We will be holding some online drop-in sessions in February\/March 2025. Your fund team manager will let you know when these are released and you can register to join the sesion. These sessions will allow you to bring specific questions about reporting to the Julie’s Bicycle team. Please register for an account on the Creative Climate Tools and start to submit some data before you join the session.<\/p>\n You can also contact the Julie’s Bicycle team<\/a> with your questions.<\/p>\n
