2025-26 Active Membership renewal with Gallery Climate Coalition

 Fri, May 22 2026


We're delighted to share that we, Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna, have renewed our Active Membership with the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) for 2025–26, marking our fourth consecutive year. Over this time, we’ve continued to integrate environmental sustainability practices into the way we work, following GCC’s guidelines while focusing on practical, achievable actions within our means as a small independent organisation.


Each of us submitted a yearly CO2e report. Together, our carbon emissions totalled 16.18 tCO2e in 2019 (our baseline year), with subsequent years at 3.66 tCO2e (2022), 1.91 tCO2e (2023), 1.63 tCO2e (2024), and 4.45 tCO2e (2025). Our carbon footprint reporting covers emissions from our activities: air and surface travel (long-distance and regional trains, coaches, taxis, cars, metro, buses, and ferries), accommodation (hotels and self-catered properties), energy consumption (electricity and gas), and, since 2024, digital usage (web hosting, cloud storage, email traffic, and video calls). We use the GCC Carbon Calculator to conduct annual audits and ensure consistent, accurate reporting.

In 2025, we drafted our first Environmental Responsibility Rider (further information and template here), a tool that enables us to communicate with and align our collaborators on environmental goals before embarking on any project.

We continue to update our Environmental Responsibility Statement on our website, first published on 17 April 2023. You can explore the extended and illustrated version here.

Active Membership is not a certification of sustainability nor a claim that we are doing things perfectly. Yet, it entails transparency in assessing, reporting, and reducing climate impact, setting targets aligned with science, and seeking effective solutions. Active Membership badges are year-stamped, and members re-submit annually to retain the latest Active designation.
