Going Green

Picture
We aim to achieve a 50% reduction in festival-related annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. As a participating festival, we will put measures in place to achieve this:

- Reducing waste where possible and aiming for 50% (or more) recycling rates by 2025

- Reducing reliance on fossil fuels where possible and aiming to reduce annual diesel consumption by 50% (or more) by 2025

- Working with audiences, suppliers and artists to positively influence travel choices and reduce travel-related emissions

- Working with the supply chain to improve accountability and the sustainability of food sourcing

- Working together as an industry to share experiences (positive and negative) about changes we make, sharing best practice and working toward industry standards where appropriate

- Measuring key impacts using credible methods in order to measure progress

- Sharing information to enable (anonymous) annual reporting for the industry e.g. working with Powerful Thinking and other closely affiliated organisations such as Julie’s Bicycle and A Greener Festival
