Sustaining Creativity Headlines

1. High engagement across the sector, with desire to lead change.2. Sustainability seen to be important.3. The strongest driver for action is personal commitment of staff.4. Encouraging levels of action, but lots more to be done.5. Appetite to come together and take a lead through networks. 6. Around 50% have made work about environmental sustainability.7. Action leads to financial and/or reputational benefits, but

environmental sustainability is not yet a core priority for leaders.8. There remains a value-action (this is true of the population as a

whole.) Environmental sustainability is seen as a priority but actions do not match attitudes.

@juliesbicycle

Museums

• 85% think it extremely or very relevant.• Financial benefits are the biggest driver, and 75% have

already experienced financial benefits.• 61% reputational benefits. • Museums are the strongest on environmental

sustainability in refurbishment and capital programmes• 52% of respondents shared their personal sustainability

vision for the sector/their organisation.

@juliesbicycle

and… more to be done

• 61% have an environmental policy.• Just over half of organisations are taking regular action

around sustainability, lower than average.• Environmental impact measurement, triple bottom line

approaches and creating content and programmes on environmental themes are the weakest areas of activity.

• Risks associated with climate change are the weakest driver.

• Only 54% felt it would continue to become more relevant over the next two years.

@juliesbicycle

Organisational Change

• Organisations that are more engaged are aware of the range of drivers.

• Organisations that are more aware of the drivers tend to do more.

• Feeling challenged doesn’t inhibit financial and other benefits.
