Our environmental promise:
- We take environmental responsibility into account in our acquisitions and while choosing collaboration partners.
- We communicate about our work for environmental responsibility and achievements. We encourage our audience, partners and artists to act according to our values.
- We contribute to environmental responsibility through our own network.
What is EcoCompass?
Korsholm Music Festival has been granted the EcoCompass certificate. It requires building an environmental program and adhering to it in the organisation’s year-round operations. An independent third party audits the environmental program every three years. The next audit for Korsholm Music Festival is this summer.
What does EcoCompass mean in practice?
As part of its environmental program Korsholm Music Festival does, among others, the following things:
- Favors travel by train and boat instead of plane and car in domestic travel
- Rents only electric cars when it comes to passenger cars
- Provides free bus transport for the audience to concerts outside Vaasa city center
- Buys technological equipment primarily second hand
- Instead of concert flowers, makes a donation to a sustainability focused organisation
- Does not use AI as a primary tool
