Sustainability

At Grampian Transport Museum, we have made a commitment to responsible practices that ensure the long-term preservation of and access to transport heritage while continually looking to actively reduce our environmental impact and support the region we live in.

As a leading visitor attraction in the North East of Scotland for 40+ years, we recognise our responsibility to operate in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner. As an independent museum preserving transport heritage, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact while continuing to safeguard our collections for future generations.

We actively work to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste across our buildings, including:

• Careful management of heating, lighting and essential climate control systems to balance conservation standards with responsible energy use.
• Encouraging sustainable travel to the museum
• Promoting recycling across the site
• Minimising waste at events and when producing exhibitions
• Prioritising durable materials, re-using where possible
• Sourcing locally, where possible

Through continuous review and improvement, Grampian Transport Museum is committed to preserving not only transport history, but also the environment in which future generations will experience it.
