The IETM Environmental Sustainability Policy has a new look. In order to bring the policy to life, we commissioned a designed version to bring its impact to life in a clear, digestible and creative manner.

The policy was approved unanimously by the IETM network at our General Assembly in Aarhus in June 2023, during our annual Plenary meeting. Aarhus was a fitting place, as the theme of the meeting centred around the ethical and practical role of the performing arts in the face of the climate emergency. A beautiful thought-provoking artistic contribution was made by the Human Plants, a concept by Christian Dietrichsen from the Centre for Inner Sustainability in Aarhus. You can see their work featured throughout this policy.

This policy is deeply rooted in IETM’s mission to foster international collaborations in the performing arts while prioritising responsible and sustainable practices. By setting clear goals and implementing measures to address climate change and ecological concerns, IETM strives to contribute positively to global environmental actions, guided by our dedication to a greener and more sustainable future for the arts sector.
