MTG reported a 49.7% increase in total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2017 compared to 2016, with air travel accounting for approximately 70% of the company's total emissions.
While MTG achieved near-gender parity in Sweden and Finland at 48%, female representation at the senior-executive level remained low at 20%, and women earned only 66–67% of the basic salary of their male counterparts.
The company set a formal target to achieve a 50/50 gender balance across its workforce by 2020.
MTG demonstrated strong broadcast compliance in 2017, recording 49 complaints with zero upheld by Ofcom, while 89% of output included subtitles and 15% included audio-description.
Total energy consumption across the group decreased significantly from 71,782 GJ in 2015 to 51,459 GJ in 2017.
Employee engagement remained high with an 84% satisfaction rate and an 88% sense of pride, though the company experienced a 16.5% turnover rate, primarily driven by male departures.
Independent assurance by Ethos International confirmed GRI Core compliance but identified a need for improved materiality analysis, supplier code enforcement, and HR system integration.
