Over the past year, Showpower’s friends over at Julie’s Bicycle and Vision for Sustainable Events have worked with ten local authorities, including Bristol, Reading, Liverpool, and Manchester, to trial new environmental standards through the Green Events Code of Practice (GECoP) pilot.
Taking part in the assessment were 60 events, with over 2.3 million visitors, varying from small community events to large festivals like Parklife and Reading.
The project was aimed at exploring how all music, sports, and community events could be encouraged to take immediate environmental action. This comes in the context of Massive Attack’s Act 1.5 gig and the Liverpool Accelerator City, which are representing the ‘gold standard’ for what is possible for sustainable events.
