Scotland's Garden Trust are committed to reducing all detrimental environmental impacts as a result of the creation of the Calyx. The Calyx project is aspriing to be wholly carbon neutral. The Trustees understand the need to educate the community and the opportunities to raise awareness of sustainable issues. Where possible, Scotland's Garden Trust will promote a greater understanding of environmental issues by the adoption of proven sustainable management systems. Active participation by both staff and visitors will foster awareness of sustainable issues and encourage participants to adopt similar systems and actions within everyday life.

Scotland's Garden Trust will work with the horticulture industry to promote new technology and products which encourage sustainable living and biodiversity, through the use of practical horticultural, scientific and educational displays. Partnership agreements are being developed to create co-ordinated strategies to minimise the impacts of waste, energy, water and carbon emissions. Scotland's Garden Trust are developing an environmental policy document which will identify and address all areas of operations under the management of Scotland's Garden Trust.
