The event follows guidelines on:
- sustainable use of resources
- low-carbon transport choices
- waste reduction and sorting
- responsible energy use
These measures are guided by the 5R principles – refuse, reduce, reuse, repair and recycle. Attendees are encouraged to apply these principles when planning their participation and throughout the event, always aiming to avoid what is unnecessary, reduce their footprint, reuse where possible, and recycle only as a last resort.
