    Kidd Pivot - 1Day for the Climate

    Kidd Pivot, a Canadian dance company, is now in their third year of carbon neutral dance tours through their "1Day for the Climate" initiative. 

    In 2014, some of the dancers wanted to do something about the environmental impact from travelling across the globe on tour. With a passion to dance and share their art with world without doing harm, the employees approached the company to explore offsetting the emissions from touring. Together, the company created a company-employee initiative: 1Day for the Climate. 

    Kidd Pivot is inspirational both on and off the stage. We are immensely proud to have them as a partner.

    1Day for the Climate

    What it is 

    1Day for the Climate is a company-employee voluntary partnership dedicating one day of work per year to climate protection. Its mission is to encourage organizations to acknowledge their carbon footprint, aim for net carbon neutrality, and raise awareness on the issue of climate change. Its purpose is rooted in the strong scientific consensus that human influence has been the dominant cause of climate warming since the mid-20thcentury.*

    How it works 

    Employees and collaborators committing to 1Day for the Climate donate one day of their salary per year. That amount is, in turn, matched by the company. The combined funds are directed to projects chosen by the individuals participating in the initiative.

    Types of projects supported 

    Members of 1Day for the Climate are invited to propose, evaluate and support projects, which aim to directly, effectively, and rigorously mitigate the company’s carbon footprint, offset carbon emissions, raise awareness or address the impact—both socially and environmentally—of climate change on the most vulnerable communities. 

    Over the years, the 1Day for the Climate initiative has contributed to the projects in Offsetters Synergy Portfolio – learn more about the projects here.

    Why now

    Reports from scientists are growing more frequent of the urgent need to to address and reduce our carbon footprint in order to prevent catastrophic and irreversible impacts on our planet and civilisation. 1Day for the Climate believes that while governmental bodies must play a stronger leadership role in regard to this problem, every workplace has the responsibility and potential to speed up the transition towards a more sustainable, low-carbon economy.

    Kidd Pivot Achievements 

    Kidd Pivot has been hosting 1Day for the Climate since 2015. Since then, it has measured its touring carbon footprint and offset over 400 tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent), enabling Kidd Pivot to be one of the first dance companies to tour carbon neutral. 

    ** Among other things, hosting the initiative has allowed the company to help protect British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest as well as support leading environmental organizations such as 350.org, David Suzuki Foundation, and the Sierra Club BC. Kidd Pivot acknowledges the importance of mitigating its impact on the climate and thanks Offsetters for their support.

    Hosting 1Day for the Climate

    Kidd Pivot is inviting all dance companies as well as other profit or non-profit organizations to host their own 1Day for the Climate campaign. For more information on this environmental initiative, please contact Eric Beauchesne at eric@kiddpivot.org

    About Kidd Pivot

    Integrating movement, original music, text, and rich visual design, Kidd Pivot’s performance work is assembled with recklessness and rigour, balancing sharp exactitude with irreverence and risk. Under the direction of internationally renowned Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite, the company’s distinct choreographic language – a breadth of movement fusing classical elements and the complexity and freedom of structured improvisation – is marked by a strong theatrical sensibility and a keen sense of wit and invention.
