Blackbird plc (the "Company")
Blackbird wins Environmental Sustainability Company of the Year
2021
London - Blackbird plc (AIM:BIRD, OTCQX: BBRDF), the technology
licensor, developer and seller of the market-leading cloud native
video editing platform, Blackbird, announces that it has won
Environmental Sustainability Company of the Year 2021 at the IABM
BaM Awards(R).
The IABM BaM Awards(R) recognize outstanding technological
innovations that deliver real business and creative benefits . The
BaMs are widely recognized as the gold standard for rewarding
Broadcast and Media innovation .
Awarding Blackbird Environmental Sustainability Company of the
Year 2021, IABM, said: " Like every industry, broadcast and media
is accountable for its effects on our beautiful but fragile planet.
But as companies increasingly label themselves "eco-friendly", it
can be tricky to identify the companies that are truly eco-friendly
and those that are merely jumping on the environmental bandwagon
for "green marketing". This award recognizes companies that have
made real strides in reducing their carbon footprint.
"Blackbird is spearheading the critical issue of sustainability
within the broadcast media and video industry. Blackbird's cloud
native video production technology has been independently found to
generate up to 91% less CO2 at source than on-prem and cloud-based
workflows because it requires no special hardware or virtual
machine, runs on any laptop, uses only 2Mbps bandwidth and, of
course, eliminates travel to venues. Blackbird is delivering real,
tangible environmental benefits to both its customers and the wider
world."
Blackbird plc CEO, Ian McDonough, said: " What an honour to be
the inaugural winners of the IABM Environmental Sustainability
Award. We value this award so highly because it embodies our own
values. The core Blackbird proposition is reduction of carbon at
source without impact on performance or quality. Video shouldn't
cost the Earth but nor should it need to compromise."
Blackbird is leading the campaign to dramatically reduce carbon
emissions within the video production industry. Earlier this year,
the Company launched a carbon awareness study titled - 'Video
Shouldn't Cost the Earth' - in collaboration with environmental
management consultancy Green Element. In July, Blackbird was
awarded the London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark in
recognition of its work in contributing to the green economy - just
5% of UK listed companies have been given this esteemed award.
