The Spotlight Programme puts a spotlight on reducing these organisations’ environmental impacts. The programme works closely with Band 3 NPOs to achieve measurable reductions through the development of good environmental management practices and setting achievable, yet ambitious, Environmental Impact Reduction Objectives (EIROs). Spotlight is the only cluster of extensive infrastructure cultural organisations working together on a sciencebased target pathway to net zero. Output The programme focuses on energy management with building-based arts organisations. It has the following priorities: improvements to environmental literacy, strategy, and expertise, to agree achievable, yet ambitious, Environmental Impact Reduction Objectives (EIROs) and creating governance frameworks that support their attainment and benefit the longer-term resilience of cultural institutions; supporting energy management strategies and operational systems to embed new technology and behaviours with a focus on driving down impacts and costs; creating opportunities for organisations to share best practices, knowledge and experience is a key part of the programme, which will enable organisations individually – and the sector as a whole – to achieve further environmental reductions.
