Helsinki City Theatre aims to create powerful, memorable experiences in a way that respects the limits of our planet. Our Climate Roadmap for 2026–2030 outlines how we will reduce the emissions generated by our activities and make the theatre’s day-to-day operations more sustainable.
The Climate Roadmap is based on our annual carbon footprint calculations, the international Theatre Green Book and the EcoCompass environmental management system. It encompasses all our activities: our theatre buildings, productions and day-to-day operations, as well as emissions generated across our value chain through areas such as procurement and travel.
In line with the Theatre Green Book, our climate action focuses on three areas:
- Sustainable buildings, with a focus on energy efficiency, emission-free electricity and the long-term development of our properties
- Sustainable productions, promoting the circular economy, the reuse of materials and responsible procurement
- Sustainable operations, in which everyday choices, travel, services and collaborative networks play a key role
Our goal is to systematically reduce our emissions and get as close to net zero as possible. For us, sustainability is not the opposite of creativity, but a source of it: we believe that even greater experiences can be created with an ever-smaller carbon footprint.
Climate action is a process of continuous improvement and shared learning. It calls for collaboration with our staff, audiences, partners and the entire cultural sector. We are sharing our Climate Roadmap openly and invite everyone to join us in building a more sustainable future for the performing arts.
