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?
