Making The BRIT Awards More Sustainable

The BRIT Awards is committed to making each ceremony more environmentally sustainable than the last. As the UK’s biggest night in music, The BRITs use their global platform to drive positive environmental change across the industry.

The BRIT Awards has measured its carbon footprint since 2013 and has been CDP accredited since 2024. Working closely with suppliers and production partners, sustainability is embedded across all areas of the event, from audience travel to set design. In 2025, overall carbon emissions fell by 7%, virgin steel use was reduced by 75%, waste decreased by 1.76 tonnes, and recycling rates increased by 35%.

In 2025, The BRIT Awards partnered with Hope Solutions, the UK’s leading sustainability consultancy for music and live entertainment, to further strengthen its sustainability strategy.

In 2026, The BRIT Awards will move to Co-op Live in Manchester, a venue designed to be one of the most sustainable in the UK. Low-carbon menu options will continue to be offered across all hospitality and catering.

The BRIT Awards is committed to supporting sustainable travel. Ticket holders will receive free tram travel on the night through Transport for Greater Manchester, alongside increased coach travel for large groups.

The BRIT Awards is proud to support Music Declares Emergency and the No Music On A Dead Planet campaign. Since 2019, the campaign has reached over 553 million people and united artists and fans behind urgent climate action. In 2026, the focus will expand through Action Hubs across the UK and internationally, enabling communities to connect and take meaningful action through music.
