Making The BRIT Awards more sustainable

In 2025, The BRIT Awards with Mastercard will be continuing its aim to make every BRITs ceremony more environmentally sustainable then the last, and will continue to use its platform to celebrate environmental best practices across the music industry.

The BRIT Awards with Mastercard is the biggest night in the UK music industry calendar. Not only does it celebrate the very best in British and international music from the last year, it also has a unique platform to drive environmental sustainability across the music industry, and a part to play in helping to counter the global climate emergency.
 
For 2025’s ceremony, the BRITs team has identified a number of focus areas in which The BRIT Awards can make the most positive impact. These include reducing fossil fuel use on-site through a wide range of measures; encouraging climate literacy across the team, partners and suppliers; aiming to create star-worthy sets while minimising the use of virgin materials; using audience and partner travel insights to inform and inspire more sustainable travel; and lowering emissions related to crew accommodation, travel and production transport.
 
A number of practical steps are being taken across these focus areas for the 2025 ceremony, ranging from serving plant-based lunches to our crew, to minimising and separating all food waste, to measuring audience travel emissions for the second year running, and much more. In addition, we’re asking all suppliers to use electric or HVO-powered transport for deliveries where possible, requiring our production team to undertake sustainable production training, and sharing sustainable transport information with our suppliers ahead of time.
 
We’re also committed to championing important outside voices in climate action, partnering with the likes of Music Declares Emergency and Life Water.

Since 2013, The BRITs has partnered with not-for-profit organisation Julie’s Bicycle to calculate the ceremony’s carbon output. These insights, in addition to audience travel and crew commuting surveys, play an important role in shaping our sustainability initiatives and helping to improve sustainability across the entire event. As well as Julie’s Bicycle, which also provides training on creative decision-making to our stage and trophy design and creation teams, The BRITs works with Heard, which provides impact communication support and training to ensure The BRITs’ sustainability messaging can have maximum impact and transparency as efforts progress, and with BAFTA Albert, which provides workshops for a number of BRITs teams.
