British Textile Biennial is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical practice in all our activities. Our work is driven by a dedication to integrity, transparency and respect for our supporters, partners, and the broader community.

We encourage and value diversity, celebrating people from varied backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles and thinking. We recognise that talent and potential are distributed across the population but are often unequally recognised due to structural inequalities so we strive to make all opportunities to work with us accessible and fair.
We are committed to fair pay standards and operate an ethical fundraising policy.
We aim to use the BTB programme as an effective platform to foreground debate and awareness raising of environmental issues and challenge ourselves to measure and improve our own environmental practices wherever we can.

We are aware that ethical and sustainable practice is an evolving journey and there are challenges in working across a large geography with multiple partners. We invite all those we work and engage with to join us on that journey.
