A practical guide to making more sustainable supplier decisions, for venues, festivals and screen organisations.
Making sustainable procurement decisions isn’t just about recyclable packaging, but about considering the full social and environmental impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle. The way we choose to spend our money - and what we are willing to pay more for - sends a powerful signal through supply chains, influencing the ethical and environmental decisions made by suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers far beyond a single purchase.
This guide helps cinema exhibitors navigate greening their procurement practices and see it as an opportunity to influence local ecosystems, build strong partnerships, streamline decision making processes, and disseminate responsibility for climate action across more members of staff.
This resource was commissioned by Film Hub North on behalf of BFI Film Audience Network, and produced by Zoe Rasbash, with thanks to Julie’s Bicycle and the BFI Sustainability Team for their inputs.
