Next Wave is committed to minimising the impact on the environment caused by our operations. We also recognise that we are well placed to act as an example of effective environmental management within the arts industry, in providing guidance on sustainable practice through our programs, assisting venues and encouraging audiences to consider their own responsibility to operate and live sustainably.

In 2014 Next Wave is participating in The City of Melbourne and the Australia Council for the Arts’ new initiative, the Greenie-in-Residence program. Throughout 2014 Next Wave will be gathering data to better understand the organisation’s environmental impacts, assessing its’ existing Environmental Action Plan and researching methods to continually improve our environmental performance.
