Sustainability

Where are we now?

As a registered charity, and one of the busiest and widest touring ballet companies in the UK, we understand that it is vital we respond to the climate emergency and lead the way to a more sustainable theatre industry.

We are working in many ways to change how we operate as a business across all departments and leading positive change amongst our employees and stakeholders.

We are focusing on the three areas within the Theatre Green Book: Operations, Buildings and Productions.

We worked hard to achieve basic standard in 2024, making the building more sustainable and focusing on areas such as paper and digital waste, travel and building operations. In 2025 we are focused on hitting intermediate standard.

This year, we created our new children’s ballet, Hansel & Gretel, with the hopes of achieving intermediate standard for the production. We’ll soon share an update on how it went and the things we learned along the way!
