In 2026, Lumière will celebrate its 50th anniversary. From the very beginning, the theme of ‘sustainability’ has been a key consideration in operational decision-making. To make Lumière even more future-proof, it was decided in 2023 to further embed this theme within the organisation. To achieve this, we have set out our policy, which contributes to making our organisation more sustainable, in this document.
It is not possible to screen an advertising spot or video in our cinemas. However, you are welcome to put up a poster or leave a flyer in the designated areas near the entrance.
