Theatre Green Book OPERATIONS Toolkit –

TRAVEL and TRANSPORT

Staff Travel

  • Follow the suggestions and information in the Theatre Green Book Operations Detailed Guidance to help make a Green Travel Plan
  • Track staff travel on the Operations Tracker
  • Can you have conversations with your team about business travel, especially flights, and how you can reduce them? Perhaps you can implement a flight policy. You can see an example of a Sustainable Travel Policy created by Imperial College for their staff here.

Audience Travel

  • If you are a remote venue, or don’t have good public transport nearby, can you create a shuttle bus or car sharing service?
  • Consider working with a platform like You.Smart.Thing to help your audiences make informed decisions about how to travel to your venue in the least climate carbon impactful way. You can see a case study of their work here.
  • Audiences are interested in making their travel more sustainable. You can see a write up by You.Smart.Thing of the Act Green 2023 Survey into audience opinions here

Deliveries

  • Be wary of using business acounts for deliveries, or services that offer same- or next-day delivery, as these often result in delivery companies making journeys without full vans.
  • Can you speak to local suppliers and your internal team about limiting the number of deliveries?
