Sustainability forum meeting in London

The heads of sustainability have been gathering monthly online for a season now, and it is time to meet in person! 

We are making the most of the Green Conference hosted by the National Theatre in London on 14 November, to gather the day before, 13 November, at Royal Ballet & Opera, to discuss some topics related to the work as a head of sustainability: 

  • how to keep motivation high on sustainability? 
  • a pitching session on projects of the year
  • a working session to create a common reporting framework 
  • space for open discussions on various important topics

The meeting foresees sessions all day long, the programme and registration information are available in the sidebar of this page. 

On 14 November, National Theatre will host its open sustainability conference, where all attendees to the meeting will be welcome. More information to come soon.
