Edge-first delivery
Streams are served from the nearest edge node with per-title encoding ladders, cutting bytes shipped per viewing hour by roughly a third versus a fixed ladder.
Sustainability
Streaming with a lighter footprint
Streaming is not weightless. Every hour of video costs energy in a data centre, across a network, and on a screen. We publish what we do about it.
How we cut the cost of a viewing hour
Engineering decisions with a measurable carbon consequence.
Carbon-aware encoding
Transcode jobs are scheduled into low-carbon-intensity windows on the grid wherever the region publishes real-time intensity data.
Default-standard playback
Playback opens at the quality your connection can hold, not the highest the device can render. Higher tiers are always one tap away.
Low-data mode
A single household switch caps every profile at a data-light ladder. Meaningful in markets where mobile data is the main cost of watching.
Our commitments
Reported annually, in plain language, with the methodology attached.
- Scope 1 and 2
- Matched with renewable energy purchasing across all corporate operations.
- Scope 3 delivery
- Measured per streaming hour and published annually alongside our financial reporting.
- Production
- BMT Studios originals follow a sustainable production standard: local crews, reduced travel, and no single-use catering on set.
- Devices
- Apps target five-year-old hardware so that watching BMT never requires a new device.
BMT is pre-launch, so these are commitments rather than audited results. We will publish the first measured report with our first full year of streaming, and we will not claim a certification we have not earned.
