SUSTAIN
ABILITY
Our ‘SOM PLANET NET’ Sustainability Plan is aligned with the SDGs and ESG factors.
We take our carbon footprint seriously and strive to offset it through specific actions that benefit our environment.
From reducing waste to promoting sustainable mobility, every step we take is focused on creating a responsible and planet-friendly event.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and respectful space where everyone can enjoy the music.
Your well-being is our priority, and we work hard to ensure a plastic- and conflict-free environment.
