Reducing landfill waste by recycling more
Reducing water use
Informing the public of green travel options
Meeting national accreditation standards through achieving ISO14001
Making necessary adjustments to the building including low energy lighting and controls, installing energy efficient heating systems and air conditioning, maintaining our modern sanitation systems
Ensuring museum staff are informed and trained in all aspects of environmental awareness
Having an Environmental Sustainability Policy that incorporates company values, national initiatives and local plans

We have:

Upgraded lighting in the temporary exhibition space with assistance from Cotswold District Council
Installed PIRs (motion sensor lighting) in the activities room used by hundreds of schools each year
Removed the oil-fired heating at our off-site store and replaced this with energy efficient heat pumps with assistance from Cotswold District Council

And

Our new Prehistory and Early Roman galleries and the Winstone Learning Centre meet the latest environmental standards
We achieved a DEC B rating in 2021-22, which is exceptional for a public building
