CARBON AWARE PRODUCTIONS
CARBON AWARE PRODUCTIONS
About Us
Carbon Aware Productions (CAP) was established by Algy Sloane in 2009 as the environmental conscience of locations company Scout Productions. The intention for CAP was to make it as easy as possible for productions to play a part in reducing their impact on the environment, and to get involved in the wonderful woodland creation projects that are both available and need funding in the UK.
Jacky Sloane joined CAP in 2020, and in 2026 launched
Carbon Aware People to crank open the door for individuals and communities to get involved in nature recovery projects too.
Today, both CAP and CAPeople are run by Jacky with the support of Algy, and super talented fellow Directors, Dan Channer and Serena Cook. Working alongside trusted ecologists and land managers around the UK, the team relish the simple joy getting trees in the ground, and of linking funders with their planting projects.
Jacky Sloane
CEO
Before running Carbon Aware, Jacky spent 25 years producing factual documentaries for primetime TV. She produced series such as the BBC's Hugh & the Ivory War, War on Plastic with Hugh & Anita, and Channel 4's The Great Climate Fight. She is passionate about making environmental action accessible and practical, and draws on life experience gathered from years spent living and working abroad in countries including Kenya and Sri Lanka.
Algy Sloane
FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
Algy studied Environmental Management at UWE and spent his formative years at road protests before finding himself sourcing locations for car commercials. When he set up Scout Productions in 2003, he made sure his love of the environment came with him, founding Carbon Aware to help productions make life as green as possible on location. Scout Productions is now one of the UK's largest location agencies. Algy would still live in a tree if he could.
