This will involve using a carbon calculator, toolkit and reporting system selected for the production.

This standard is for those who work primarily in Sustainability lead, manager and coordinator roles on a production. Some of the tasks could alternatively be undertaken or supported by the Sustainability assistant depending on the type, size and budget of the production and the size of the sustainability team deployed.
