In light of the 'refresh Bizot Green Protocol' accompanied by Handbook #2 (Mobility) which provides tools to adopt the principle of 'greener option first' when planning the movement of people and objects, the Icon Sustainability Group are holding a Sustainability Social on transport.
This will be an informal, virtual forum for questions about practically embedding sustainability in your conservation practice. Think having a chat with pals at the pub... if that chat was about environmental sustainability in collections care, and your pals are the three highly-informed sustainability experts. After the panelists introduce themselves and their subject the floor will be given to the audience - so come prepared with any and all questions!
May's topic is "Sustainable Transport and Travel” and will be hosted by conservator Alice Tate-Harte, Fine art Conservator at English Heritage. We welcome this topic’s panelists: Ben Adams (General Manager) and Siân Tipler (Sustainability Officer) from fine art shippers and handlers Constantine; and Richard Smith, Head of Sustainability at English Heritage who is working on making staff and visitor transport more sustainable.
