‘Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.’

The Sydney Festival has a commitment to Sustainability and their definition as been adopted from the Brundtland Commission’s definition of sustainable development.

You can read the document in full at the Sydney Festival  website.  It covers such areas as power, waste, water and transport.  It also includes information about physical elements such as signage and advertising.

"With an estimated audience of 450 000, over 50 venues with performances by over 800 artists from Australia and abroad, the impact of resource consumption, waste creation, transportation, and greenhouse gas emissions is considerable.

In collaboration with our artists, venues, suppliers, staff, crew, volunteers and, importantly, with our audience together we can meaningfully reduce our resource consumption, waste creation, and our greenhouse gas emissions, so that together we meet our vision for a truly Sustainable Sydney Festival.

We will be enlisting your help to reduce our impact because; we believe that together we really can make a difference." (Sydney Festival Website)
