05017 - Powerhouse Museum Sustainability Strategy

Project Member(s): Plant, R., Atherton, A.

Funding or Partner Organisation: Powerhouse Museum, Sydney

Start year: 2005

Summary: Working with the Powerhouse Museum we used the Global Reporting Initiative framework, other relevant frameworks and interviews with Museum stakeholders to define sustainability in the museum context, report on current achievements and detail the Museum business case for a sustainability strategy. We drafted a Powerhouse sustainability policy and made detailed recommendations for a Powerhouse sustainability strategy. We designed and ran a workshop open to all Powerhouse staff to engage them with the sustainability strategy and gather ideas for implementation.
