ABOUT US
Sustainability
At Dundee Heritage Trust, we are committed to protect and share our local and global heritage
for current and future generations.
To do this, we know it is vital to protect our planet.
Our Sustainability Strategy
-
The science is clear: climate change is the most urgent risk to our planet this decade.We will urgently and continuously strive to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in the coming months and years. In 2024, we will set our first quantified emissions reduction target for our Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
-
We know people and the planet both benefit from the responsible use of natural resources.We will endeavour to embed this knowledge through new approaches to procurement, use, and waste at our museums in 2023, including for exhibitions, conferences, and events.
-
We will ensure our decision-making is rooted in evidence.We will measure, monitor, and record our impact across all areas of a detailed action plan across seven themes: Energy, Water, Waste, Food and drink, Transport, Nature, and People. We will use this to set quantified SMART targets as we develop our plans for 2024-25.
-
We will be transparent about our progress and accountable for our promises.A Sustainability Working Group will lead the execution of this strategy, which is publicly available online, and we will report regularly on progress to internal and external stakeholders, including in the Annual Report of the Trustees.
-
We will always put people at the heart of our efforts.As we embark on the next stage of our sustainability journey, we will listen to all our stakeholders, engage our people in the challenges and their solutions, and empower everyone to act to protect our planet and its heritage for current and future generations.
