Introduction Webinars<\/a>, to give you an overview and background before diving into Sustainable Operations.<\/span><\/p>\nReuse, Recycling and Waste Management<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThis webinar will take a deep dive into all things bins. Reuse, Recycling and Waste Management are foundational to a more sustainable approach and supporting the growing circular economy. Following a brief introduction to Theatre Green Book: Sustainable Operations, guest speakers from the National Theatre and Recorra will take us through how they have been developing their approach, exploring the options available and how they work together to improve environmental footprint across their estate.<\/span><\/p>\nHosted by Lilli Geissendorfer, UK Director of Theatre Green Book.<\/span><\/p>\nPaper & Digital<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThis webinar will focus on how we reduce the environmental impact of our digital use and paper. With AI increasing the need to understand and minimise our digital footprints, there is growing interest in how to work sustainably in the online space, from marketing to internal communications and sharing work through digital means. Following a brief introduction to Theatre Green Book: Sustainable Operations, guest speakers including from Manifesto will take us through how to approach to digital decluttering, low carbon websites and marketing campaigns. We will also hear from Recorra about advances in sustainable approaches to paper use.<\/span><\/p>\nHosted by Lilli Geissendorfer, UK Director of Theatre Green Book.<\/span><\/p>\nContracts & Procurement<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThis webinar will take a deep dive into supply chains and how we work with them to reduce our sector’s impact on the planet. While suppliers are outside organisations’ direct control, theatres have a significant influence on supplier behaviour and environmental responsibility through their contracting and procurement processes. Following a brief introduction to Theatre Green Book: Sustainable Operations, guest speakers including from Rachael O\u2019Sullivan, Sustainability Manager at Royal Ballet and Opera, and independent consultant Phoebe Currie, will offer insights gathered over the past year working with suppliers to inform new ways forward to improve information sharing, understanding between suppliers and organisations, and accountability to support the sector to raise its collective ambitions and work more effectively together in this area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHosted by Laura Sedgwick, Theatre Green Book Producer.<\/span><\/p>\nFood, Drink & Retail<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAudiences say they expect theatres to be leading on sustainability, but what does that look and taste like Front of House? Join us for an insight into how theatres are wo<\/span>rking with their teams and suppliers to\u00a0<\/span>balance commercial imperatives, visitor experience and doing the right thing for the planet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n

We know that moving people and things makes up the majority of most performing arts organisations’ environmental footprint. While this is an area of practice where organisations have less direct control over people\u2019s choices, many are working to influence change in innovative ways: from using apps and improving information on travel options, to partnering with local councils and transport providers. Following a brief introduction to Theatre Green Book: Sustainable Operations, guest speakers including Steve Morris from Wales Millennium Centre, will share their experience of working in this area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHosted by Lilli Geissendorfer, UK Director of Theatre Green Book.<\/span><\/p>\nBuilding Management<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThis webinar will take a deep dive into all sides of Building Management, looking at how to reduce energy use and consumption across a venue. Following a brief introduction to Theatre Green Book: Sustainable Operations, guest speakers including Grace Christie from Nimax Theatres, will share their experience and top tips from working in this area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHosted by Lilli Geissendorfer, UK Director of Theatre Green Book.<\/span><\/p>\nOrganisational Change<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nThis webinar will focus on how to support staff teams and their culture to move towards more sustainable ways of working. Many of the changes theatres need to make in the operational space mean changes to how people do their jobs day to day, and with that comes unintended consequences and ripples affecting the wider organisations. Following a brief introduction to Theatre Green Book: Sustainable Operations, guest speakers will share their experience of what works to enable and motivate staff to change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHosted by Lilli Geissendorfer, UK Director of Theatre Green Book.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#8CC63E” divider_weight=”6px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ACE-150-high-logo.jpg” title_text=”ACE 150 high logo” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”69%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Fredrick-Mulder-Foundations-logo-small.jpg” title_text=”Fredrick Mulder Foundations logo small” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
