We are continually working to improve our environmental and social practices within the Festival, and to support all those visiting and working on University grounds to do the same. This includes working with our Festival tenants, engaging with other organisations, and running events dedicated to social responsibility and sustainability in the festival.  For the 2019 Festival, we have made progress in the following areas:

• Integrated sustainability into the University’s Standard Operating Procedure for tenants
• Developed a new Sustainability Protocol for the University
• Established a baseline for current tenants policies and practices on sustainability
• Published online hub for sustainability information in the Festival Fringe
• Launched physical presence within the festival through the ‘Sustainability Hub’
• Supervised internship on the use of single use plastics in the Festival Fringe in University venues.
