Coventry City of Culture's 'Green Code' has set sustainability standards for the event's own team as well as the organisations and suppliers it works with.

The code provides principles and expected behaviours around everything from travel and procurement to the way events are delivered, and challenges Coventry City of Culture Trust to improve the environmental friendliness of each event. 

Designed to be “adaptable and easily adoptable” for all cultural organisations, it gives freelancers, contractors, suppliers and co-producers minimum standards for delivering an “environmentally conscious” City of Culture programme.

Following further consultation, the trust will develop the green code for longer-term adoption by cultural institutions across Coventry and Warwickshire, aiming to complement existing policies, standards, and frameworks “without putting too much strain on organisations”.
