Our aim is to work towards delivering events that have zero environmental impact and achieve this with minimal offsetting. Offsetting is not the long term answer to this problem we are facing, understanding the impact is. We’ll design emissions out, implementing low consumption design, incorporating sustainable and renewable power sources. In our supply chain we incentivise local suppliers using renewable, sustainable products with a low environmental impact. Consumables will be ethically produced and 100% recyclable or compostable. We as festival organisers will spend the next three years finding solutions to make what we love not have a negative effect on our futures – please join us on this journey of change and email community@southfacingfestival.com
