Sustainability
Our commitment
We commit to net zero emissions by 2035, aiming for an earlier 2030 target where possible. To get there we will sustainably purchase electricity and permanently change how we heat our buildings, in line with emission Scopes 1 and 2*. We will also work with our suppliers to help them reduce their emissions and set Scope 3 emission targets by 2025. Activity will be closely monitored and reported each year to ensure targets are on track. We recognise that everything we do has an impact on the environment – at our home in Covent Garden and at our sites in Thurrock in Essex and Abedare in Wales. The activities of The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet, the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and our nationwide education programmes all have an impact on the environment. Our audiences, staff and artists have an effect too. We are making changes now to reduce this impact, making a commitment to net zero and being clear on our stages to get there. The Royal Opera House aims to be a catalyst for positive change as we make our operations more sustainable, efficient and economical.
