Note from Blumano: The following summary is a news extract made by Blumano via TPI and Vision: 2025.
Comments recently closed on January 14th for the Green Code of Conduct, which was a code of practice recently launched to “provide clear minimum environmental standards for all UK outdoor events”. The comments period aimed at getting “the views of event businesses across the industry”. (2)
The code itself was developed by Vision: 2025, AIF, AFO, NOEA, EIF, Festival Republic, Jane’s Bicycle and other organisations with the support from “live promoters across the UK”. Vision: 2025 chair, Chris Johnson, states the code is meant to “provide standards for sustainable practices that are credible, realistic, and crucially, workable, for all event organisers. It will bring the clarity, along with national consistency, that stakeholders across the sector are asking for, as we take steps to reduce emissions and impacts as part of the industry’s journey to net zero”.

According to TPI, “The Green Code is a direct response to recommendations made by the Select Committee on the Future of Music Festivals, in May 2021. The Minister for Digital and Culture is working with government departments to explore how the industry is managing its environmental performance over the coming months. The Code also responds to and relates to the ambition and framework set out for the wider music sector in the LIVE Green vision, launched this year”. (1)
