ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

 
FARLEYS ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

As an archive, historic house and gallery, caring and protecting an art collection, and the environment in which it is housed, in order to be able to share it with others and future generations is at the core of all we do.

These same principles of care apply to the planet and we are committed to protecting the environment by monitoring and assessing our impact and committing to making changes in our practices.

Reduce – Reuse – Recycle
