Welcome to a sustainable venue!
Grieghallen aims to be a sustainable venue through all the small and large choices we make — in the heart of Bergen, with a heart for the environment.
In our sustainability strategy for 2020–2025, we set ambitious goals, and we are proud to say that we achieved the targets we set.
Most importantly, the work we have done over the past five years has contributed to greater awareness among everyone working at Grieghallen.
Sustainability is embedded in every major and minor decision we make at Grieghallen: from the purchases we make to the energy we use, from the solutions our partners provide to those we contribute ourselves — and from the food our audience eats to the transport options they choose.
We have set a new sustainability strategy for the period 2025–2030 and will continue to work purposefully to make sustainable choices in everything we do.
