Green Orchestral Charter: Sign-Up The Green Orchestral Charter has been developed by the Association of British Orchestras, Orchestras Live, and Julie’s Bicycle. It is aimed at Orchestras, Concert Halls, Promoters, Agents and others working in the orchestral sector in the UK. For a PDF copy of the full charter, please visit the Julie's Bicycle website.

The Charter should be adopted by your board and senior management. You will be issued with a Green Charter signatory certificate for display, and your organisation will be publicly listed as a signatory online from later this year (exact date TBC). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We commit to recognising environmental sustainability in our planning, performance and promotion of orchestral music in the UK first and, as a joined community, we all agree to using the following four principles of good environmental stewardship: Commitment, Measuring, Improving, Communicating." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question Title * 1.
