Extending our green footprint at our events as well as conducting these events in an environmentally responsible manner and focus to minimize waste forms an integral part of our core strategy.
We strive to minimize our waste footprint at our events and are willing to ensure that we remove our waste in totality from the event location onto a recycling centre. So often event’s waste ends up in a local landfill site – this is what we want to prevent. In conjunction with this approach our goal is to support and educate local communities on the importance of leaving behind a preserved environment. We achieve this by empowering them through strategic employment in the recycling process.
We are committed to eradicate alien vegetation which results in new water being created annually by means of our events and route building techniques. All our events are water-neutral which means we create on average about 5000 cubic metres of new water throughout a year.
