At Shakespeare North Playhouse we: CARE about our community, our guests, and our planet. We UNDERSTAND the need to protect our natural environment and limit the day-to-day impact of our business. We AIM to follow and champion good sustainability practices, reduce the environmental impacts of our activities, and give something back to our community and the environment.

Our sustainability policy 

We uphold good sustainability practices by: 

• Ensuring we comply with all relevant environmental regulations and legislation. 

• Reducing our consumption of resources including energy, water, and other raw materials, and ensuring the efficient use of the resources we do consume. 

• Considering the environmental, social, and ethical impacts of the goods and services we buy. 

• Training our teams in best practice relating to sustainability 

• Working with our suppliers to reduce the impact of our supply chain and to encourage them to improve their sustainable and environmental practices. 

• Managing waste generated from our business in line with the waste hierarchy; by avoiding waste in the first place, then giving priority to minimising, reusing, recycling, recovery of waste, and finally ensuring the safe disposal of waste.  

• Regularly reviewing our practices with the aim of continually improving the impact of our business activities on the environment, local community, and wider society. 

• Encouraging our guests to adopt sustainable practices, such as journey planning, waste minimisation and recycling whilst visiting our venue
