Venues

Why me and why green?

Venues have a major role to play in the greening of the industry. You are in a position to influence audiences, inspiring them to take positive environmental action whilst visiting your venue and in their everyday lives. The building you run hosts artists, icons and role models, some of whom want to speak out about the environment… their messages will be all the more powerful in a venue serious about greening its operations.

Venues are also influential in purchasing and operational aspects of a band’s activities. Artists may be committed to ‘go green’ but it’s the industry professionals and venues that host them which make the every day decisions on whether the industry will become more environmental.

Why influence these people and industry players? Because it is only by working together that we will achieve the exciting vision of a truly sustainable music industry.
