Festival sustainability certification and platform
We want to use festivals as an influential platform and opportunity to systematize sustainable practices; changing behavior and encouraging eco-conscious action across all stakeholders.
Solution description
Our solution would be to introduce an event eco excellence certification that provides standards and transparency on the sustainability of an event. This would trigger impact in the form of concrete actions (conscious gastronomy, waste management, reducing energy consumption and mobility footprint, etc.) and awareness across all event stakeholders: organizers, sponsors, performers, vendors and attendees.
Festival organizers would additionally be supported by a platform that provides guidance on the sustainable events, information on the certification and networking/collaborating opportunities.
Our roadmap starts with a research phase followed by testing a proof of concept on partner festivals after which we will take the learnings and adjust our model accordingly to provide the most impactful solution.
