A Greener Festival

Organisers of the Greener Festival Award have now launched the Greener Event Award, expanding the remit of the initiative that seeks to encourage the live entertainment industry to be more environmentally friendly.

The expansion means that the organisation will now be assessing and advising venues, conferences and other events on their environmental impact and practices. Since its launch in 2007, the Greener Festival initiative has similarly assessed over 400 festivals across the world, and has now trained 65 assessors since relaunching the awards last year.

A Greener Festival co-founder Claire O’Neill says: “There are very tangible opportunities for events and venues to save resources and money through actions that benefit the environment. There is an expressed interest and now overwhelming response that events want to find and act on these opportunities and share best practice. That is where we can help”.
