Green Griffin
Taking action on environmental sustainability.
Griffin is passionate about environmental sustainability. From programming challenging works on the topic (Between Two Waves, Kill Climate Deniers, The Turquoise Elephant) through to activism and company practices, we’re all about being green. And we’re always looking for new ways to reduce waste, consumption and achieve our goal of becoming carbon neutral.
But, we’ve never formalised our commitment to climate action… until now.
Griffin’s Sustainability Action Plan marks the beginning of the company’s formal commitment to environmental sustainability.
It will serve as the benchmark of how we live up to our values of being bold, ambitious, forward-thinking and inspirational.
We want to honour the legacy of the artists, workers and creatives that have worked here. Just like past custodians of the Stables, the things we do here on a small scale have the capacity to impact Australia on a large one.
Our Aims
- To better reflect the values of our staff, audiences and the wider community
- To take responsibility for our impact on the planet by becoming a carbon neutral organisation
- To ensure current sustainable practices continue in the future
- To make financial savings through implementing sustainable practices
- To mirror Griffin’s value of championing social change through theatre

Our key goal is for Griffin to become a carbon neutral organisation—and the first step is to offset our carbon emissions while we work internally on reducing our environmental impact as we move forward.
Which is where you come in—we need your help! We’re looking for fellow green theatre lovers to donate toward our carbon neutrality mission. No amount is too small, and it (literally) means the world to us. We estimate that a total of just $3000 will offset Griffin’s annual carbon emissions!
This is a way to align your environmental values with the theatre you love—so if you’d like to be an integral part of the Green Griffin mission, email Associate Producer, Development Frankie Greene with your interest and an idea of how much you’d like to donate!
