City of London Festival director Ian Ritchie says: “We are delighted to have been awarded our second Greener Festival Award. We have an ongoing commitment to sustainability and the environment and we aim to reflect this not only in our actions but also our programming. The 2010 Festival promoted and celebrated the biodiversity of the City of London in a range of artistic activities, particularly our City Bees initiative which saw eight beehives installed throughout the Square Mile where they will remain for years to come.”
The winning festivals have been assessed on travel policies, CO2 emissions, waste and recycling policies, water use, noise pollution, environmental impact and green office policies.
