  • Enable are committed to reducing the Carbon-footprint and environmental impact of our events. Wandsworth Borough Council have pledged to be carbon-neutral by 2030, and to help them achieve this we are implementing a number of measures to ensure we are as sustainable as possible during the event.  

    Here’s what we’re doing: 

    • We’ll be using the permanent mains power installed on the Common wherever possible to reduce our use of generators 

    • As part of our strategy to help us reduce waste and increase recycling, we are working with a specialist waste contractor to ensure all waste is sorted and recycled where possible, and no waste goes to landfill 

    • We’re providing freshwater points on-site to encourage the use of refillable water bottles by attendees 

    • There will be no single-use plastic used on site. This includes not selling single use plastic products from our merch point and using reusable cable ties around the site 

    • We’re thinking about the materials we produce and that our signage can be used in future years of the event 

    • As part of our commitment to reduce our environmental impact, we strongly encourage all guests to travel by foot, bike or train to the event wherever possible, including by providing a dedicated bike park close to the event entrance  

    • After the event, we’ll survey our attendees to better understand travel patterns to consider new alternatives.
