At ACCIONA, we recognise that the pathway to a greener world requires collective action and transformative partnerships. Our collaboration with the NGV demonstrates how the creative industries are contributing to a sustainable future in Australia.
Deepening our ongoing partnership in 2023, ACCIONA will once again conduct an extensive life cycle assessment for the NGV's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® exhibition 'Pierre Bonnard: Designed by India Mahdavi.' The audit will identify the advances made by the NGV to reduce the carbon footprint if its annual flagship exhibition as well as opportunities for further improvement.
In a pioneering partnership, ACCIONA joined forces with the NGV to improve the environmental impact of its acclaimed Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® exhibitions. Beginning with the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® 2022 edition, 'The Picasso Century,' ACCIONA embarked on a project to identify ways the NGV could implement improved sustainability practices. The NGV has since adopted measures to grow the use of recycled materials, increased renewable energy usage and reduced the use of plastics. The Gallery has also identified ways to reduce the carbon footprint of its future exhibitions.
Data is at the heart of environmental performance improvement, and that’s where the ACCIONA partnership and our pilot program have really helped. To give you an example of how we have already been able to act on the information from this project, our summer exhibition reused all of the walls and 75% of the floors that we built for the prior winter exhibition.
