A GUIDE FOR GREEN FESTIVAL-GOERS
Actively engaged in environmental sustainability for over a decade, especially via the eco-design of sets, the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence has recently undertaken an ambitious strategy to reduce its environmental footprint. Thanks to awareness-raising activities with Festival teams, an energy audit, a carbon footprint assessment, a company mobility plan, training sessions, and special working groups, the Festival has developed a comprehensive action plan, to be implemented over the coming years.
