As a venue and a team, Regent Street Cinema is acutely aware of the environment impact of our industry. As a result, it is imperative to us that we work towards long term, meaningful actions to ensure we operate as sustainably as we can. We are committed to making meaningful changes to improve our sustainability efforts as a cinema.

Below is a working overview of our ongoing efforts as an organisation.

BAR AND RETAIL

Minmised plastic: all plastic packaged drinks have been removed from our retail offering.
All disposable coffee cups are water lined and compostable.
We are committed to working with B-Corp recognised brands as part of our retail offering.
Our retail partners that have not (yet) achieved B-Corp recognition are minimal, operating with ethical practices and sustainable packaging.
Any other retail partners we are actively working to change in line with our sustainability goals.

INFRASTRUCTURE/FACILITIES

All cinema step lighting has been replaced with energy efficient lighting that utilises only 1% power.
External canopy lighting system has been replaced with a timer to reflect seasonal changes and daylight hours, minimising energy use.
Auditorium AHU replaced with upgraded system that operates on timer to improve efficiency of heating and cooling the space.
Cleaning chemicals have been replaced with Biohygiene sanitising cleaners.
Upcoming: installation of silent hand dryers in all bathrooms.

In addition to the above, we work alongside the University of Westminster towards sustainability on campus and at the cinema. The University itself is ranked 12th among UK Universities in sustainability efforts. A breakdown of these efforts can be found here.
