Working Together to Create a Greener Hepworth

Posted 7 October 2024 Case study, News

SAIL provided expertise to support the team at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield to formulate their Sustainability Policy and Action Plan. SAIL facilitated a workshop to co-create a policy that resonated with their values and aspirations as well as being in alignment with local and international commitments on climate action. Building on this policy, SAIL worked with the team to develop a detailed sustainability action plan, translating the policy’s overarching goals into specific, actionable objectives, each backed by clear actions, designated responsibilities, and trackable metrics.

SAIL are also acting as an accountability partner, supporting the team with regular check-ins and providing sector-specific support and guidance, as well as access to our wider network of sustainability partners and solutions, to enable the Hepworth to deliver against its sustainability goals.

Working with SAIL has been hugely beneficial to us at The Hepworth Wakefield as we look at evolving and improving our Environmental Sustainability. They have helped us shape a new action plan for the organisation and have explained this across different departments in an accessible way with plenty of time for discussion. We look forward to working with SAIL and their network of organisations in the years to come!
