Strategy: sustainable transportation
The final step is to introduce internal regulations – implementing a sustainable transport policy that promotes low-carbon means of transportation and reduces unnecessary travel. It is important that environmentally friendly guidelines are not just isolated measures, but indicate strategic emission reduction targets. It is worth dividing the regulations into four areas: staff, guests and artists, audience, and logistics and deliveries. These regulations should be reflected in contracts and formal documents, so make sure to communicate the new rules to your team.
The institution should also introduce regular travel monitoring, collecting data on means of transport and distances – for the team, guests, audience and logistics. This will enable better mobility management and planning of further emission reduction measures. It is also worth setting a target, e.g. reducing transport emissions by 25% within a year.
