By gaining AGF’s Greener Venue certification, venues will be able to demonstrate independently verified green credentials to their visitors and stakeholders. The certification will help artists, promoters and clients identify green arenas more easily.

To attain the certification venues will demonstrate a commitment to supporting biodiversity, and reducing their organisations emissions and waste across the company’s operations, purchases and investment.

The venue assessment considers the organisation’s approach to key elements of environmental sustainability including energy, food & beverage, transport, waste management, water, plastics & packaging, social responsibility, as well as its policy and strategies for dealing with hazardous materials and reductions in CO2 emissions.
