NSLF not only talks about sustainability: it is sustainability.
SLF is a leader in “walking the talk”, adopting progressive management practices that address the environmental and social impact of events. The organising team has developed a sustainable event framework that monitors and reduces the social and ecological footprint.
Here’s what the framework covers:
ENERGY
GreenPower is used across the whole site; solar power instalments for audio-visual systems at key venues; water heating at the Wash Against Waste trailer.
WATER
Reduction measures such as the provision of composting toilet facilities; drinking water stations located throughout the site; grey water filtration system in the Wash Against Waste trailer.
WASTE
Implementation of a Waste Wise Plan and Waste Stations; drinking water stations reduce the need to purchase bottled water and reduce plastic waste.
TRANSPORT
Visitors are encouraged to walk, bike or catch public transport. Access events by train, tram, and bike.
PROCUREMENT
Event Volunteer t-shirts are made from 100% organic cotton and manufactured in sweatshop-free conditions; all food and beverage vendors are screened to ensure their offerings are as sustainable as possible; catering is completely vegetarian and/or vegan with a focus on organic and local produce
