CAPAS takes its role in the environment's sustainability seriously, so that the performing arts can continue to flourish in a healthy environment and leave a viable future for generations to come. In order to address environmental issues in a constructive manner, we have adopted an eco-responsible approach to all our activities.

 

Our commitment to sustainablity is based on cross-functional actions that consider ecoresponsibility from health, justice, economic and community perspectives. To make this vision a reality, we raise awareness and encourage our employees, partners and customers to adopt sustainable practices.

 

objectives

• Our commitment is expressed through tangible, long-term sustainability targets, which are adapted to each of CAPAS's business sectors.

• Innovate and engage in dialogue by creating opportunities to learn, test ideas with our peers and take consistent action.

• Involve artistic practice by encouraging our artists and partners to develop projects that respect the environment.

• Informing our community about eco-responsibility to raise awareness as individuals, professionals and citizens.

• Rethink mobility by optimizing our international tours from a sustainable perspective.

• Integrate eco-responsibility into everyday life by creating a healthy living environment for our employees.

• Support our partners and customers in implementing long-term eco-responsible initiatives;

• Keep abreast of advances in sustainable development and motivate our partners and customers to update their practices accordingly;
