Roskilde has pledged to be a sustainable event. A statement on the festival website says, “Sustainability is about leaving a positive footprint on Earth and creating optimal conditions for the people living here now and in the future.

“At Roskilde Festival we talk about sustainable development. Being sustainable is not an end in itself but a continuous and constant effort to make a difference and to bring about real change in the world. Our starting point is the annual Roskilde Festival, one of Europe’s largest gatherings for young people. However, we also engage in activities and partnerships with other NGOs, associations and businesses all year round.

“Our approach to sustainability is holistic and include donations, artistic innovation, green initiatives and social change projects. Whatever we do, the objective is to support non-profit projects that primarily benefit children and young people.

“Environmental sustainability is about establishing the best conditions for people, animals and the environment. We do this by taking care of the environment and minimising negative climate impact. Every year, over 130,000 people come to Roskilde Festival, all of whom affect the environment and consume – much like we do during the festival preparations. And we all share responsibility for the climate as well as protecting nature and biodiversity, both locally and globally. In particular, we do this by reducing our resource consumption and focusing on responsible procurement. We use circular principles to avoid resource waste, by reducing the quantity of waste and ensuring that it is reused more effectively.
