Sustainable Art Logistics

In tandem with the NDC and leading institutions, we have looked to invest in environmentally efficient buildings, in order to reduce our direct emissions impact.

Constantine London West provides a secure environment within a facility designed and constructed with energy-saving and sustainable energy production systems at its core.

The storage environment has been designed to fully utilise our integrated sustainable energy systems. This both reduces the carbon footprint of Constantine London West and provides benchmark sustainability standards for our industry.

We are proud to announce that we have achieved Planet Mark Business Certification. We are committed to cutting our measured footprint annually. Planet Mark is committed to helping businesses find unified solutions to reduce carbon emissions, secure net zero targets, and deliver meaningful climate action.

Achieving Business Certification is the first step in the transition towards net zero. As Planet Mark Members, we must achieve annual 5% reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and measure some Scope 3 emissions within direct operational control (such as business travel and waste). We look forward to expanding our measurement remit and taking strides towards net zero at a critical time for our planet. We are focused on continuous improvement and are proud to be a Planet Mark Certified Business.

Constantine is the exclusive UK partner of Turtle providing our clients with a sustainable and innovative solution to the safe packing and transportation of artwork with industry-leading performance.

Turtle is the result of extensive testing to develop and refine the unique properties of this climate crate, with materials designed and developed for use by aerospace engineers. This radically innovative product brings the standard of fine art packaging to its highest level and has been used by world-leading museums for over 25 years.

The reusable crates are made in the UK and have a lifespan of over 25 years. If you'd like to find out more information, please contact our team at [email protected]

Over 200 reusable crates from the “Island Laminate Range” are available to hire via Constantine. Crates available include Picture, Object and Slotted variations.

The crates are constructed to a high museum specification and have been used by leading UK museums for many years. All of the crates also carry the ISPM15 wood packaging stamp.

These crates are available to hire from our facilities in London and Scotland. We offer daily rates, as well as longer hire periods. Please send all enquiries to [email protected]

We support organisations that use our bespoke wooden crates and upcycle them for important community projects.

Cosmic Constructions is an ecologically sustainable building and design social enterprise. They have most recently fabricated a new workspace for Mother House Studios which is the world's first artist studio with integrated childcare.

We also work with Rhys Pritchard, a furniture designer and maker who recently led the Re: Works programme. This collaboration between the V&A, Participatory City and residents of Barking & Dagenham gave a team of local people the skills to make stools and benches from our used crates. This seating was installed at The Great Exhibition Road Festival 2021.
