Sustainability
At the Park and Palace, we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and creating a sustainable home for all that we do.
We have made significant progress in recent years: from major infrastructure projects, to smaller but impactful changes, to securing funding, caring for the Park and trialling green technology.
However, we know there is still so much more to do. Our ambition is huge, but we face challenges and many of the answers we need to find are not straightforward. Success will only come about through persistence, collaboration and building on the small wins, as well as the big ones.
Our approach to improving our environmental sustainability is built around five areas:
REDUCE FIRST Reduce energy use, waste creation and consumption of materials and water across the site
OUR PEOPLE’S COMMITMENT Listen to, empower and upskill our people to champion green practices in all that we do and celebrate successes
CIRCLE OF COLLABORATION Work with clients, artists, suppliers, service partners, contractors and our visitors and communities to ensure we work towards a more sustainable Park and Palace in a truly collaborative way
BEING BOLD AND AMBITIOUS Set ambitious targets and investigate innovative solutions with funders and partners and showcase best practice to our peers
CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING Develop and improve our strategy and Environmental Sustainability programme, communicating our progress in a transparent way
