ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
PCS is committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the environment.
Our strategy to achieve this is:
· Minimise waste by continually evaluating operations and ensuring they are as environmentally efficient as possible.
· Ensure that all costumes, set, rehearsal and workshop supplies are sourced/purchased from second-hand, upcyled or recycled sources where possible.
· Ensure that where possible all newly bought items are reused.
· Adopt a purchase consideration checklist. Prior to any new purchase, the following will be considered:
o …whether an item can have another use after its initial need
o …whether the item has come from an environmentally sustainable source
o …whether the item has come from a source of manufacture where the workers are not exploited
o …what the environmental impact of the item’s shipping will be.
· Ensure that transportation for any activity will be using public transport where possible and lift sharing where impossible.
· Ensure that environmental policies are in place for any accommodation sourced for activities.
· Actively promote recycling and enforce recycling policies for every activity.
· Monitor external hire venue environmental policies before committing to transaction.
· Monitor collaborative partnership environmental policies before committing to relationships.
· Designated Green Champion, Drew Taylor will ensure that all activities adhere to Creative Carbon Scotland’s Green Arts Initiative https://www.creativecarbonscotland.com/green-arts-initiative/
