Decarbonisation is a critical aspect for Laneway Festival, reflecting its commitment to sustainability. The festival's unique positioning as a national event with both Australian and international acts places it at the forefront of the environmental conversation.
Recognising the importance of sustainability to its stakeholders, including attendees, performers, and sponsors, Laneway Festival has prioritised measures to reduce its carbon footprint.
This commitment underscores the festival's ethos and aligns with the growing environmental consciousness of its audience and participants.
Laneway Festival chose NetNada for its extensive experience in the events space, particularly within the music industry. NetNada's ability to integrate seamlessly with Xero and its proven track record of managing large tours made it an ideal partner for the festival.
Moreover, being Australian-based and equipped with expert teams and technology, NetNada offered tailored solutions that resonated with the festival's specific needs.
To date, the collaboration between Laneway Festival and NetNada has yielded significant results. NetNada calculated the total impact of the festival across multiple states, effectively communicating this information to attendees and sponsors.
This transparency not only raised awareness but also fostered a sense of collective responsibility. Furthermore, the festival implemented recommendations from NetNada, leading to a reduction in emissions.
Laneway Festival's plan involves continued commitment to reducing its environmental impact for future events. The festival aims to build on the foundations laid by the partnership with NetNada, focusing on further reducing emissions and promoting sustainable practices.
This ongoing commitment is expected to not only enhance the festival's operational efficiency but also strengthen its reputation as a leader in environmental stewardship within the events industry.
