In this role, Shaunagh Duncan will be reporting to Chief Legal Officer Matt Wilson, and Fremantle Group Chief Financial Officer Andrew Bott. Shaunagh will spearhead Fremantle’s sustainability function working with teams globally to implement sustainability strategies that improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact across the business.  

Shaunagh Duncan will drive the achievement of Fremantle's sustainability goals – including tracking areas for improvement and ensuring accurate reporting of Fremantle's carbon footprint across all operations. As Head of Sustainability, Shaunagh will also collaborate with external stakeholders and industry organisations, including BAFTA’s Albert, to establish a greener, more progressive industry. She will work closely with Eleyn Gomez, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Fremantle, and with Fremantle’s global production companies to support key global entertainment titles including Got Talent, Hole in the Wall, and Farmer Wants a Wife. Shaunagh will also collaborate with other pillars of the organisation, such as Global Drama and Global Documentaries, to support sustainable production across the company’s labels. 

Shaunagh has over 10 years of experience in the creation, management, and delivery of sustainability strategies. Most recently, she was Head of Sustainability for Europe & International at Oatly, which was named the UK’s #1 Most Sustainable Brand in 2023. In 2024, Shaunagh was listed on The Grocer’s Top 10 ‘Power List of Women Pioneering the Plant-Based Sector'. Alongside wide-ranging leadership experience across the energy, technology, lifestyle, and FMCG industries, Shaunagh has an MBA to complement an Master of Science in Sustainability Engineering, Policy & Economics (Imperial College London), and a Bachelor of Science in Earth Sciences (University of Bristol). 

Andrew Bott, Fremantle Group CFO, says: “Sustainability is business critical, and we look forward to welcoming Shaunagh to the team. I am confident that Shaunagh will lead our sustainability initiatives, to reduce our carbon footprint, and increase energy efficiency – keeping us on track to achieve our sustainable goals and become the leaders in the industry.” 

Matt Wilson, Chief Legal Officer at Fremantle, adds: “The team is thrilled to have Shaunagh on board. Shaunagh will be a fantastic addition to the business, and her impressive experience will enable Fremantle to continue to take sustainable action across our productions and operations.” 

Shaunagh Duncan, incoming Head of Sustainability, says: “I'm beyond excited to be joining Fremantle at this critical time for the industry and our planet. Studies from one of our partners, Albert, found that one hour of TV content production produces about 13 tonnes of carbon emissions – about the same as your entire yearly carbon footprint if you live in the UK. The production industry is a century old and urgently needs transforming and I can't wait to help bring the huge opportunities for Fremantle to be a part of that to life.”  

Shaunagh succeeds Katy Tallon, who previously held the position of Global Sustainability Manager at Fremantle.
