Sustainability
Göteborgskalaset is certified as a Sustainable Event
We want to be more than just a festival; we aim to contribute to and inspire positive development in our city and the planet we live on. For us, sustainability means actively working with all three dimensions of sustainability: ecological, social, and economic.
Each year, we certify the festival as a “Sustainable Event” through Greentime. This sets the bar high and means we must place demands not only on ourselves but also on our partners.
Our approach to sustainability
The Gothenburg City Festival challenges how sustainable a festival can be. We want to take responsibility for people, place and the future – and put it into practice.
Circular event clothing
By giving old garments new life, we reduce new production and save both resources and the environment. Read more about some of Göteborgskalaset’s creative solutions for sustainable event clothing.
Reducing single-use items
The Gothenburg city festival has worked to reduce festival waste and inspire both visitors and the industry to make more sustainable choices. Learn more about the festival’s single-use reduction initiatives in recent years.
