HT GREEN
Hampstead Theatre recognises our impact on and responsibility to the environment. As we challenge, influence and shape the future of British theatre, we acknowledge that environmental responsibility is necessary for the continued vitality of theatre – to its existence and strength. We see our role as a cultural institution leading the way in our approach to environmental responsibility.
We aim to move theatre forwards with new ideas, talent and energy to excite our audiences with the lateral, the fresh and the unexpected. We see the possibilities for expressing and developing creativity and originality, as we embed environmental thinking into everything we do.
OUR COMMITMENTS
- Creating a culture where sustainability is prioritised in decision making and ways of working
- Promoting a circular economy, where resource use is minimised and waste is eliminated
- Working towards Net Zero, with ambitious targets across our impacts (Energy, Water, Waste, Travel and Materials)
Our Environmental Policy is a statement of our commitment to reducing the impact of our activities on the environment and is reviewed annually.
We are committed to reducing the negative environmental impacts of our activities, in particular those relating to our:
