We launched something momentous this week at GEI15. After 17 years, A Greener Festival begins a new life as A Greener Future. Our new visual identity is built on our values: a bold, unapologetic expression for a greener future. As a not-for-profit, we’ve spent nearly two decades pouring all we have into the sustainability of the live sector. We have always been about real action that raises the bar, with continuous improvements. Quality over quantity. In our new incarnation, we broaden horizons and raise ambition to do the important work of bringing the whole events, music, entertainment, and sports ecosystem into more sustainable structures and ways of operating. We began with the festival sector and over the years now work with the whole events and live ecosystem for instance with the Greener Arena, Greener Tour and Greener Supplier branches and within sports, hospitality and ceremonial events as well as music. Our story reflects the evolution of sustainability in the events and entertainment sector and in society at large. It’s no longer a niche, it’s an all-encompassing direction of travel where all the pieces are starting to fit together for a greener future for us all. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks as we complete our evolution! #AGF #agreenerfuture #agreenerfestival #sustainability #evolution
About us
Previously A Greener Festival. A not-for-profit company committed to helping events, tours, venues and festivals around the world to be greener. Founders of the worlds first green event standards - the AGF Awards. We provide information, education resources and facilitate the exchange of good ideas. We consult with organisations and events of all scales from Roskilde Festival, BST Hyde Park, AEG, The Queens Platinum Jubilee, RHS, Royal Parks, The O2 Arena, Wembley Arena, to small grassroots organisations. All of our activities are to create a greener live events ecosystem globally. Since 2007, our ‘AGF Certification’ scheme has assessed over 1000 events and venues worldwide; it has been instrumental in helping organisations to adapt or refine their actions, improving resource efficiency and environmental impact. Following the original Greener Festival Award, in 2017 we launched the "Greener Event Award" and since the "Greener Arena Certification" and "Greener Tour Certification" which now works with Conferences, Trade Fairs, Sports Events, Arenas, Venues, Ceremonies and more. Why Apply for certification? Aside from the publicity gained from being part of the AGF certification scheme, the process ensures that events complete an Environmental Impact Assessment to understand, set targets, monitor and improve environmental performance. This is beneficial not only for our environment and the industry as a whole but also sets events at a competitive advantage to those who don’t grasp this vital knowledge.

Proud to once again be nominated in two categories at the international A Greener Festival Awards by A Greener Future with NorthSide. This time it is our work in the categories Innovation, for the NorthSide Forest project - a project of 100 hectares of biodiversity in Aarhus in collaboration with Klimaskovfonden and City of Aarhus. The second nomination in the category Catering is for our long time work in making event food taste better, be healthier and a lot more climate friendly, presenting a great taste of all plant based and ecological menues in close collaboration with all the great vendors.
