AIMS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

What we want to achieve

• Minimise resource use and eliminate waste as far as possible, promoting a circular economy.
• Embed low environmental impact and sustainable practice into all our operational systems and the fabric of our buildings and equipment. Alongside this we will work to engage staff and create a culture wherein sustainability is a key factor in decision-making and ways of working.
• Minimise the need to travel, use sustainable travel options, and maximise the value of any international travel
• Use the range of resources within the sector – including the work of Julie’s Bicycle – to identify best practice and implement that, wherever possible.
• Work with suppliers and contactors to find effective ways of minimising our environmental impact and will take this aspect into account when choosing supplies and services for our business operations.
• Communicate our progress and share our learning with staff, partners, industry colleagues and audiences, working in partnership to further our aims where appropriate.

How we achieve it

• We are part of Julie’s Bicycle Industry Green scheme
• We hold Green Team meetings monthly
• We attend LTC Green Champions meetings, part of London Theatre Consortium
• Most of the disposable items used in Kiln Kitchen, Bar and Cafe are certified 100% compostable, sustainably sourced or made from recycled products – including our used cooking oil, which is collected and recycled by Olleco.
• We are recycling our sets so nothing is going to landfield
• We now have a prop store so outher theatre can get in touch t borrow props for free, promoting a circular economy
• We participate every year in the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recycling event, where dozens of local people and customers leave their electrical devises and equipment for recycling.
• We have introduced e-tickets to reduce printing.
• We aim to have regular Green screenings. Recent screenings included Mountain (2017), and Patricio Guzmán’s Nostalgia for the Light (2010) and The Pearl Button (2015).
