La Monnaie wins Oper! Award for 'Best Future Project'

The jury of the Oper! Awards: “La Monnaie has been consistently concerned with the impact of its activities on the environment. Reduction of CO2 emissions, sustainability and environmental awareness among all employees are the declared objectives. Waste separation, noticeably less energy and water consumption, beehives on the roof, homemade cleaning products and recycling of set designs, in addition to bicycle racks and optimised internal logistics... - Exemplary!”

Peter de Caluwe, La Monnaie’s general and artistic director: “We are sincerely proud of this recognition of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, which enables us to incorporate, in the long term, the three dimensions of sustainable development (ecological, social and economic) into the vision and mission of our cultural institution. Indeed, this participatory and staff-wide discussion is an essential agenda item for the entire cultural sector. We are happy to share it with our fellow institutions as a model for future development.”
