Walking the talk
Sustain-ability.
A green technology brand carries its own footprint. Here is how the festival handled it, and how the network era does.
The festival's own practices, 2019–2025
Stated as historical fact, from the festival's own record.
Climate-conscious staging
The 2020 edition staged a climate-neutral concert; catering, materials and travel were managed against the festival's own sustainability guidelines.
Conservation offsetting
The festival partnered with InvestConservation, supporting the Copalinga reserve in Ecuador as its offsetting project.
Hands in the dirt
GTF x Stridy beach cleanups ran alongside the Singapore editions, and a Thames cleanup alongside London 2022.
Fewer flights, closer rooms
The format change is itself the biggest environmental decision this brand has made: a year-round digital network punctuated by 350–1,000-person curated editions replaces a 14,000-person annual build-up of halls, stages and freight. Less venue, less production, less travel per connection made.
How GTF Connect worksClaims you can check
We make no green claims about ourselves that we would not hold others to. Environmental credentials on this site are stated as historical fact with their source, and verification of anyone's claims, including ours, belongs to the free public record at esgos.org, which we do not operate. Event-level sustainability commitments for the 2027 editions will be published with those editions, not before.
