Our footprint
Everything we do has an impact on the planet.
The first step to engage with in-depth sustainability work is to measure, acknowledge and report our footprint. The second step is to align with our industry and/or national sustainability agenda and targets. UreCulture as a member of the Gallery Climate Coalition is committed to reducing its footprint by 50% by 2030.

Insights from 2019 and 2022 footprint

- Flights, especially if long-haul and/or business class have a huge impact on the carbon footprint we leave on the planet. From 2019 to 2022 we cut our emission by 57% by flying less and by not taking business class flights.
- This is why UreCulture takes careful consideration of long-haul flight requirements. We do our best to limit this to more than 3 return economy flights per year. In Spain and Europe, we take trains where possible.
- Even a small services business can leave a significant footprint on the planet. UreCulture’s 2022 annual footprint of 6,8 tCO2e is the equivalent of to that of a small art gallery in London and/or 3,2 households in Spain (*average per year energy consumption).
RECIPROCITY WITH OUR PLANET – WE GIVE 1% BACK TO THE PLANET
UreCulture has been a member of 1% for the Planet since 2021. In compensation for our footprint, we donate 1% of our annual revenues to environmental non-profits which are part of the 1% for the Planet approved network.
