Clarity Entertainment & Media Partners with IDE Systems to Drive Sustainable Productions

Read how we're helping our entertainment and media customers hit sustainability targets with a new green partnership.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with IDE Systems, the UK’s largest supplier of temporary EV charging solutions and an official BAFTA albert supplier. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in helping productions reduce their carbon footprint and meet sustainability objectives.

As highlighted in the recent BAFTA albert report, if just 30% of road journeys went electric, the film and TV industry’s total carbon footprint could drop by 5%. Confidence in charging facilities is key to making that shift - and this partnership delivers exactly that.

Starting January 2026, productions will be able to hire portable EV chargers and access the Erica Monitoring System through Clarity Entertainment & Media’s travel support services. These solutions enable safe, flexible charging on set without permanent infrastructure and provide accurate energy monitoring for better decision-making and carbon reporting.

“We’re thrilled to partner with IDE Systems to bring practical, scalable EV charging solutions to productions. As an albert supplier, we’re passionate about supporting our customers’ sustainability objectives - not just with travel, but across their entire production footprint. This partnership is a step in the right direction to support our clients in making production travel more sustainable.”

James Langton, Director of Sales and Account Management, Clarity Entertainment & Media

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Clarity Entertainment & Media to help productions deliver greener travel without compromising on reliability. As an albert supplier, IDE Systems is focused on making sustainable choices easier to adopt in real-world production environments. Together, through our portable EV charging and smart energy monitoring, we’ll support teams to charge on location, understand their energy use, and reduce emissions as the industry accelerates into 2026.”

John Leader, Head of Carbon Impact and ESG

This initiative complements Clarity’s existing sustainability services, including ECOsmart-certified hotels and venues through our partnership with Greengage. ECOsmart makes it easy to book sustainable accommodation and venues, find EV charging points, and access detailed CO₂ data- helping productions reduce emissions from the start. Combined with robust emissions reporting tools, Clarity offers a complete solution for greener entertainment and media travel.
