Steeldeck joins as a Founder Supporter of Theatre Green Book as it becomes an independent organisation championing sustainability in the performing arts
Steeldeck is proud to announce its support for Theatre Green Book, the industry-wide initiative supporting the performing arts industry to work more sustainably, as it becomes an independent not-for-profit organisation, with charitable status pending. This marks an exciting next chapter for the initiative, which has transformed how the industry approaches environmental responsibility.
As one of the initiative’s Founder Supporters, Steeldeck joins a collective of leading theatres and creative companies providing guidance and core financial support for 2026-28. This group includes the National Theatre, National Theatre of Scotland, Royal Ballet and Opera, Royal Shakespeare Company, ATG Entertainment, Bristow Consulting, Charcoalblue, Haworth Tompkins Architects, Trafalgar Entertainment, and Unusual Rigging.
The new structure will also integrate Theatre Green Book’s growing international networks, supported by Strategic Partners including Theatres Trust, Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre, and the Association of British Theatre Technicians. The new organisation will be chaired by Abigail Pogson, who will lead its ongoing work to accelerate change throughout the UK performing arts and to grow its reach globally.
“At Steeldeck, we build stages that last both for the planet and for performance. The Theatre Green Book is driving real change across our industry, and we’re proud to be part of the movement making theatre more sustainable.”
