Here are a few ways we’re acting sustainably:

Our people

• 95% of our staff cycle to work or use public transport
• We encourage each other to suggest ways we can become more sustainable, and everyone plays their part in daily sustainable activities, like recycling

Our theatres

• We use plastic reusable cups in our bars instead of single-use plastic glasses, and encourage people to use water fountains backstage rather than providing bottled water
• All our packaging is biodegradable and plant based
• We use the borehole underneath Sadler’s Wells to supply our sinks, toilets, and temperature control
• We use LED lights throughout our foyer spaces, the theatre auditorium, and backstage areas
• We use renewable sources to generate 100% of our electricity
• Our solar panels produce an average of around 17,000 kilowatt hours per year – enough to power two family homes for a year

Our activities

• We take part in the Earth Hour campaign every year
• We’ve developed Green Riders for visiting companies and our touring productions
• We’re part of the Spotlight Programme – 29 cultural institutions working across England to drive down the environmental impacts of our activities
• We reduce the amount of paper we use with a paperless invoicing system

A few things we’re proud of

• Being part of the UK’s commitment to the Paris Agreement
• Our five-star Creative Green rating for environmental best practice
• Being a member of the Islington Sustainable Energy Partnership
• Our 5/5 rating in the Creative Green certification by Julie’s Bicycle
