What we found

Desk review: exceeded -50% emissions by 2023 vs 2007/8 baseline (absolute), net zero by 2030; 100% renewable electricity; on-site solar at Tate Modern (small share of ~11,000 tCO2 estate); climate emergency declared. Strong absolute reduction; no current management-system cert (Creative Green scheme has ended) so certs trimmed.
