SUSTAINABILITY ROUND UP
What a year for sustainability
The events industry took positive steps to put sustainability at the top of the event agenda. Read on, as Chris Johnson, chair of Vision: 2025, looks at some of the key achievements in 2022
CHRIS JOHNSON
After an explosion of sustainabilityrelated activity in 2021, we have seen a further maturing of industry response to climate change, with more environmental services on offer, new research and reports, more collaboration across the industry, and more new resources becoming available.
One litmus test of the appetite for sustainability is engagement in industry events. The Green Events and Innovations (GEI) conference continues to grow in reputation and the rebranded Vision:2025 Sustainable Events Summit (SES) at The Showman’s Show 2022 attracted record attendance.
Music Declares Emergency (MDE) continues to be a strong voice for the planet. Its Turn Up the Volume Survey found that 82 per cent of music fans were concerned about climate change. This is more evidence that music and events play a vital role in inspiring change.
On travel sustainability, there has been positive movement. ecolibrium launched a Sustainable Travel Guide for Artists and the Music Industry in collaboration with MDE, and the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST) released a report about influencing festival travel choices: From carbon footprints to cultural influence: engaging live music audiences on travel choices.
A Greener Festival announced new certifications for tours, arenas, and suppliers, with impressive strides being made by participants such as Bring Me the Horizon, which reduced tour emissions by 38 per cent.
Julies Bicycle and Vision:2025 launched the Zero Waste Festivals Project to explore the challenges and solutions of sustainable waste management at outdoor events. Working with specialist consultancy Resource Futures, and guided by an industry working group, the report is due January 2023.
BIG MOVES OF 2022
Perhaps the biggest sector-innovation of 2022 is the development of the Green Events Code. The code is intended to provide clear minimum standards and shared targets for sustainability that are understood and adopted by all stakeholders across the outdoor festival and events industry – event organisers, local authorities, and the supply chain. After a year of consultation with the industry, the draft code has launched as a working version, with further development in 2023 and a planned launch in 2024.
Live Nation took a bold step on its journey to eliminating single-use plastics, with a £5m strategic investment in TURN Systems, a tech-based reusable cup system. Festival Republic (UK) used only palmoil free HVO biodiesel at its UK festivals; and worked with the London School of Economics to measure and display the carbon footprint or “food print” of 1,500 meals with more than 300 food traders.
FESTIVAL TRAILBLAZERS IN THE UK
There’s plenty to celebrate this year; Glastonbury continued its ban on singleuse plastic bottles saving an estimated 1.7m plastic bottles. At the other end of the spectrum, HebCelt, a small event in the Outer Hebrides, trialled green hydrogen power. Norfolk and Norwich Festival, a 17-day multi-venue/location arts festival, eliminated generators and chose a meat and fish-free menu, and Shambala festival removed disposable hot cups from its ecosystem and worked with food impact assessor NOMM to provide traders with a food carbon calculator, presenting food impact labelling at the point of sale. Whilst in Ireland, Native Events’ Body and Soul festival used 100 per cent compost loos and Dublin Pride notably decarbonised carnival floats.
COMING SOON…
And finally, a few things to watch out for in 2023! Live Green (Sweden) is set to run a masterclass series and festival academy as part of the European Festival Sustainability Lab project. Music Declares Emergency has launched an initiative called Fan Club 2023, which aims to engage music audiences directly, and we eagerly await the Zero Waste Festival Report, which will provide the basis for developing waste policy in the sector. This is due in January.
Of course, there is more – get in touch if you know about any other exciting projects, and I will share it with the industry. In the meantime, tickets are on sale for the 15th Green Events and Innovations conference in February, and I hope to see you there!
