As an opera company with a global outlook, we believe it is our responsibility to put environmental thinking and action at the heart of what we do.
Tackling climate change is a joint effort. By engaging employees, musicians, audiences, communities, and supporters in the environmental process, we can help to reduce our environmental impact and carbon footprint, and inspire wider change towards a more sustainable future.
Operations – Reduce the environmental impact of our operations and buildings by continually monitoring our performance, reducing utility usage wherever possible and sustainably procuring goods and services
Productions – Establish a more sustainable production and touring model, and explore options to address environmental themes in our productions
Travel – Support and promote more sustainable travel options to our staff and audiences
Community – Embed environmental themes and engagement into our education and community programmes
Partnerships – Develop environmental collaboration with our partners and with individual supporters
