In 2023, we developed a comprehensive Sustainability Action Plan guided by the Theatre Green Book’s standards.

This plan puts us on track to reduce our consumption from our baseline reading and will create a foundation for continued success.

Our current objectives include:

  • Establishing our 2015 baseline to measure our progress toward 50% emissions reduction
  • Selecting suppliers and partners based on sustainability credentials and locality
  • Improving our visibility on sustainability issues through dedicated website content and in-venue information
  • Incorporating sustainability objectives into all contracts
  • Continuing our partnership with Julie’s Bicycle to report on our environmental impact
  • Regular reporting to our board on our environmental progress
  • Establishing an environmental subgroup with partners from across Bury
  • Developing a sustainable travel policy for customers and staff
  • Collecting audience data to inform our future environmental strategy
  • Providing carbon literacy training for all staff, contractors, and tenants
