Environment

We want to take the environment and sustainable development into consideration in everything we do, in planning the festival as well as actualizing it, during, and after it. In this way we make sure we are creating an event entirety that is enjoyable for everyone along with being socially responsible.

The furniture and decorations are gathered from recycled,

long lasting materials that can be reused. The festival area has an artificial

turf that is used for many years

We actively encourage the festival crowd to favour environmentally friendly modes of transport to the festival and

away. Our festival does not offer parking space for private cars, but encourages people arriving to the festival to use public transport or bicycles. Near the festival area, there is a free

and guarded bicycle parking area, where the crowd can bring their bikes. Its also possible to walk to a city festival.

On top of taking notice of how people get to the festival, we also take into consideration the pollution caused by the travel of our performers and subcontractors. We work together with local

subcontractors and Nordic event organizers to make sure that the travel between places of

performance is reasonable.

We seek for sustainable solutions

We encourage to use eco-friendly transport

A part of our environmental programme is to calculate festivals carbon footprint with Pyry Energy Consulting

Offset. We compensate carbon emissions into sustainable WWF Gold Standard energy projects annually.

We prefer high class, vegetarian, organic and local food.

We serve responsible food

We encourage to use eco-friendly transport

We compensate festivals carbon emissions

Electricity from waste- and residue-based renewable diesel

Due to the constant changes being made to the Suvilahti area, organizers are unable to

design new and permanent electric grids for the Flow Festival site, and efficient energy solu-tions are hard to come by. Because only a part of Flows electricity needs can be fulfilled using wind power, the festivals power output has to

be complemented now and in the future with generators running on

diesel.

Neste Oil is supporting Flows ecological goals by providing 100 percent renewable NEXBTL diesel for use in the festivals generators. We only utilize the waste-based

and fully renewable diesel from Nestes Porvoo facility, and in this way we also wish to encourage Neste Oil to further

refine their use of sustainable materials and to cut down on their use of palm oil.

The fuel used in Suvilahti is completely free of palm oil. Neste Oil is providing the Flow Festival with

renewable diesel produced from non-edible foodstuffs and waste, which will help to reduce

greenhouse gases by as much as 90 percent. Biofuel produced in this way is a wise investment, and

industry of this kind does not compete with food production

We create greener events

We create greener events

Being part of Green Events Project, co-ordinated by the Helsinki City Environment Centre, we develop the management of environmental

issues of events. Events have a notable environmental impact, which can be minimized by changing the way

of doing things. We can minimize environmental impact through our activity by

environmental communication and education.

The amount of waste created by the festival has been minimized during each year of our activity. The restaurants at Flow,

for example, use biodegrading cutlery and all the waste is recycled. The festival crowd is encouraged to return empty bottles and cans to

the recycling depots by collecting a refundable amount at the time of purchase, which is refunded when the bottles/cans are returned.

Recycling guides help the festival audience to sort the waste, and recycling is optimized by adding the number of recycling

depots. We also give specific recycling instructions to all our subcontractors and employees.

The cleaning of the festival area is conducted by over 200 people so that it will be returned to its usual state as quickly as

possible, and so that the waste will not accumulate to the close by areas. In 2013 out of all the waste created at the festival 95% was

recycled.
