Sky calls for climate action from TV firms, despite CEO’s private jet use

Broadcaster, a main sponsor of Cop26 summit, defends Dana Strong's former transatlantic commute

Sky has said broadcasters need to lead by example on the climate crisis - despite reports that its chief executive was regularly commuting by private jet from her home 3,500 miles away in the US.

Sky is one of the main sponsors of the Cop26 climate conference, and as part of an attempt to nudge the general public into taking action against global heating, the broadcaster said television dramas should feature more characters buying electric cars or ordering vegetarian options in restaurants.
