A Responsible Festival
The Easter Festival, supported by founding partner CIC, is resolutely of its time and in its time. As such, it cannot ignore the major issues facing our society.
On the strength of an audit carried out by a specialist consultancy, it is more clearly reaffirming its societal and environmental commitments** in a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach that has been asserted from the very first editions.
The identity of the Easter Festival has always been to reconcile high standards, accessibility and awareness of the impact on the local area. In 2024, we carried out the festival's first carbon footprint assessment, making it part of a collective effort to improve its environmental footprint year on year.
The 2024 edition was also a great success in testing the sorting, treatment and recovery of bio-waste, which was the only source of waste not yet recycled by the festival.
A total of 153 kg of bio-waste was collected during the festival. As for other types of waste, the 220 kg of recycled paper, glass and cans saved over 5,000 liters of water, 98 kg of Co2, 1,237 kWh of energy, 4 L of oil and 4 trees. This saving alone would be equivalent to 29 Aix-Paris round-trips by TGV. We are also proud to know that this sorting generated 4 hours of social work.
The festival's environmental efforts also manifested themselves in less visible but equally important gestures, such as optimizing musician transport, multiplying non-meat proposals for audience catering, doing away with disposable cups in favor of reusable gourds for all technical teams, and pooling and optimizing our stage furniture.
