Sustainability Rider

Sustainability Rider

We have a responsibility to be as eco-friendly as possible throughout all aspects of our work. Through this rider, we hope to communicate and develop a greener way of working for everyone in our sector.  

If aspects of this rider present a challenge, we ask that you contact us and we can help find the best solution. If you have any suggestions in addition to this rider, please share them with us. 

Transport & Accommodation 

We keep flying to a minimum and use public transport when possible. Please minimise any travel in personal or company-owned petrol vehicles. If accommodation is required, please ensure it is local, and that good public transport links are available.  

Energy Efficiency & Use 

We have taken steps to improve the energy efficiency of all our equipment and we employ a ‘Turn It Off’ policy. Please ensure you don’t leave lights, air conditioning, heating, stage equipment on unnecessarily, and ensure on-site partners or collaborators to do likewise.  

Hospitality 

We prefer vegetarian/ vegan meals, other dietary requirements upon enquiry. Please make every effort to minimise waste of leftovers. 

Single-Use and disposable containers 

We prefer clean, reusable items. Please avoid non-recyclable packaging as much as possible. 

Sustainable printing & using recycled paper 

Any merchandise or marketing materials, including posters, programmes and tickets should be printed in minimal quantities and on certified recycled paper. Please ensure any third-party printing companies offer sustainable printing options.  

Communication  

Please ensure any audience is made aware of public transport links and green travel & accommodation options. Please signpost any options for electronic programmes, tickets, or online attendance options if available. 

CO2 Emissions & Offset 

We are committed to reach Carbon Net Zero by 2035 by both cutting our environmental impact and contributing to projects which help to reduce the amount of atmospheric CO2.
