Helsinki Biennial and its organiser HAM Helsinki Art Museum honor the City of Helsinki’s strategic goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2030. HAM seeks solutions to ecological, cultural, and social challenges through museum and exhibition practices. HAM guides and develops its sustainability work holistically and concretely through a dedicated responsibility program, accompanied by specific objectives, actions, and indicators.
The biennial’s sustainability plan builds on HAM Helsinki Art Museum’s ESG work. Helsinki Biennial sustainability plan aims to reduce the climate and environmental impact of the project through a comprehensive course of action, while also fostering a systemic change within the community. Helsinki Biennial adheres to a scheme based on accountability and transparency across three pillars: Reduced climate and environmental impact; Monitoring, evaluation and reporting; and long-term commitment and renewal of the goals.
Accessibility is important to us. We want all biennial visitors to enjoy their visit as fully as possible and have a positive experience. Information about the accessibility of Helsinki Biennial is updated on our website for each biennial year.
We are committed to improving the accessibility of our digital services. We redesigned our website in 2023, and ensuring accessibility was one of the key objectives of the renewal. There is still room for improvement, and we are systematically addressing the shortcomings identified in our accessibility statement.
