Sustainability
Beyond The Gates is a green festival, and has received the Grønn Festival certification since 2021.
We are always working to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable festival industry. Some of our measures include:
Green market: at our festival market, you can mend and redesign clothing, and purchase vintage merchandise.
Power, infrastructure, waste, and recycling: our 2 main venues, USF Verftet and Grieghallen, are both certified Eco-Lighthouse. The venues have efficient power-saving measures, and sorts waste into at least 4 different fractions for recycling.
Acquisitions, merchandise, and printed materials: we do thorough research into sustainability before making any acquisitions, and also consider renting or participating in the local sharing economy. Our merchandise is made of sustainable products, and we base the inventory on last year’s sales to avoid any remaining stock.
Plant-based options and locally sourced food: we always offer plant-based options, and use locally sourced ingredients and providers.
Transportation: at least 80% of our internal, local transportation at the festival is either being done by bike or electric cars and vans. We donate compensation for any transportation or travel by plane to an environmental organization.
As an audience member, we hope that you too will help to make our festival a little greener. Please make conscious choices when you make purchases, travel, eat, and experience what both Beyond The Gates and Bergen have to offer.
