Electric Picnic Sustainability Strategy

Objectives for Greening the Picnic

This Electric Picnic Sustainability Strategy sets out our commitment to creating conditions in which we can all work towards minimising the environmental impact of the festival while maximising creativity and fun. This ensures that our children and grandchildren will inherit a tomorrow that is at least as good as today, preferably better.

All music festivals take a large toll on the environment however with this long term strategy we aim to put in place the actions that need to be taken to put us on a low carbon, low waste trajectory.

With Cultivate, Body and Soul, Edenbee, and BYE, POD have developed this sustainability strategy to guide its activities to reduce the Electric Picnic's impact on the planet. It aims to make the Electric Picnic one of the most sustainable music festivals in the world.

It's not only about minimising the festival's impact it is also about creatively highlighting the issues and exploring the solutions at the festival. To this end the Sustainability Team have worked to communicate a coherent message throughout the festival and to give participants the opportunity to engage in the process.

Keeping It Green.
