Our Approach
Shambala is completely and utterly committed to being sustainable, circular, regenerative, net positive, earth & life respecting and future thinking too – it’s in our DNA!
We attune all of our creative, operations, and production with ambitious sustainability targets – in a world where big, multi-national events companies are often seen doing next-to-nothing. As a community, we hope all folks involved can help us tackle the world’s challenges in our utopian microcosm of society – and emerge after the event with new awarenesses, understanding and behaviours.
Our Work
Our green practices are considered truly pioneering world-wide. We have reduced the festival’s carbon footprint by over 90%, got 100% renewable electricity, become meat & fish free, and eradicated single use plastics. Over one third of you legends come on our eco-travel options, and we compost our food waste to grow food with… We’ve been independent, well – forever!
But there’s always more to learn and do – in a world of increasing urgency – so below is what we’re doing and why.
