Gopuff delivers Finsbury Park measures its carbon footprint annually.

We employ a dedicated sustainability team who work as an integral part of the festival planning process, developing a sustainability action plan for the festival and ensuring these actions are undertaken on site.

We know that we cannot tackle climate change alone, and as such we support climate positive initiatives in the broader music industry. Gopuff delivers Wireless Finsbury Park is part of Vision 2025, contributed to the The Show Must Go On Reports in 2020 and 2015, and has signed up to Music Declares Emergency.

The energy we use is the main contributor to the on-site GHG emissions at gopuff delivers Wireless Finsbury Park. Our strategy is to first reduce our required usage, and then to replace our energy sources with renewables.

Energy Reduction

• Through our membership of Powerful Thinking we are working toward reducing the power consumption at the festival to a minimum.
• We monitor fuel consumption annually, to determine the potential to reduce generator sizes and related fuel volumes.
• We require that LED festoon and tower lights are used to reduce energy consumption, and that onsite suppliers plan power distribution efficiently.
• Battery storage solutions and solar hybrid generators are utilised at gopuff delivers Wireless Finsbury Park in suitable areas, and we calculate the emissions savings they generate.

Replace with Renewable Energy

• Our aim is to use 100% renewable energy from either biofuel or mains supply by 2030, and this year we are fuelling gopuff delivers Wireless Finsbury Park with 100% Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)
• The biofuel we use is Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) biodiesel, which emits 90% less carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) when compared to using regular red diesel.
• We assess our biofuel’s provenance, endeavouring to use European sources that are from a second-generation waste product such as used vegetable oil, not palm derived.

We strongly recommend and promote low-carbon travel options to get to gopuff delivers Wireless Finsbury Park and partner with national coach provider Big Green Coach.
