<p>For 25 years, the hottest artists and bands in the world, and with them thousands of music enthusiasts, have come to a small town between Berlin and Leipzig. There, in the shadows of disused coal excavators, on the edge of a lake and in the middle of forests, they celebrate the diversity of music and culture together for four days. Between quiet and loud, mainstream and subculture, zeitgeist and future, they dance together and escape everyday life.</p>

<p>More than 150 carefully selected artists and bands - Bicep (live), FKA twigs, southstar, Daphni, Solomun and many more - play the right soundtrack and offer space for excessive enjoyment and unique experiences. In a musical diversity that is unparalleled in Europe, they discover their new favorite acts and experience tomorrow today, the big in the small. Whether it&#39;s Fred Again.. and Little Simz, Jamie xx, Moderat, Stormzy or Jorja Smith: They&#39;ve all left their mark on this place.</p>

<p>Stay tuned for what 2023 has in store for you. Stay tuned for MELT.<br />

<h1><strong>Sustainability at Melt - Our self-image</strong></h1>

<p>For us, sustainability is not a state, but a process. We started on the path to more sustainability many years ago with the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO2BURLAgvs">Melt ECO</a> initiative, because we believe that music and festivals play an important role in social change. Through Melt Festival, we want to create special moments and bring people together, while showing attitude and taking responsibility.&nbsp;Our vision is to create experiences that change the world in a positive and sustainable way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;We are constantly working to critically examine our processes and operations and improve them in terms of environmental and social sustainability, without losing sight of economic sustainability. Whenever possible, we opt for the more sustainable alternative as part of our event planning. We view systemic and financial limitations as challenges that can spur us on and serve as drivers for innovation. This is also part of the path to more sustainability: one comes up against limits, but we will always work on pushing these limits and thus make change possible piece by piece. Through our FAIRopolis Area right next to the Green Camp, we have also created a place in 2019 where we want to raise even more awareness for various sustainability issues and give NGOs and initiatives a platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Our values of openness, passion, respect and responsibility should not only be lived within our team, but also at our festivals. Melt Festival should be a colorful and diverse place, a place that leaves traces first and foremost in the form of beautiful memories and not through mountains of garbage, polluted water or destroyed forest and meadow areas. You are an important part of our festival, so we need your support and help. On this page you will find some tips on what you can do to make our festival more sustainable.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>SUSTAINABILITY - WHAT WE ARE ALREADY IMPLEMENTING</strong></h2>

<h3><strong>SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY </strong></h3>

<p>We love diversity and celebrate diversity in all its facets. Any kind of discrimination therefore has no place at our festival. Furthermore, we understand sustainability as a holistic topic, which is why we feel that the social pillar of sustainability is just as important as the ecological pillar, because: everything is connected!</p>

<h3><strong>Gender equality and diversity</strong></h3>

<ul>
	<li>Guideline &quot;Gender-sensitive language&quot; in the team</li>
	<li>Offer of gender neutral toilets&nbsp;</li>
	<li>&nbsp;also on stage we are working on more diversity &amp; gender equality, that&#39;s why we are&nbsp;part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.keychange.eu/">Keychange Initiative</a>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

</ul>

<h3><strong>ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY</strong></h3>

<p>We don&#39;t think that the most sustainable festival is the one that doesn&#39;t take place, because festivals bring people together and celebrate cultural as well as musical diversity. However, as a festival we will always cause some CO2 emissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>SUSTAINABILITY AT MELT FESTIVAL - FOCUS, OUTLOOK &amp; GOALS</strong></h2>

<p>We are aware that we will always be on the way with the topic of sustainability, as it is about continuous improvement, so we also want to share transparently which topics we would like to work on more in the future. We will use the 2022 relaunch to create a carbon footprint for our festival. On this basis, we can derive even more concrete goals and measures for the coming years and better understand our levers for more sustainability. At this year&#39;s Melt Festival, we will also launch the pilot project &quot;Yellow Bag&quot;, where for the first time we will hand out a yellow bag to all visitors in addition to the residual waste bag, in order to better separate the waste generated at the campsite and thus increase the recycling rate.</p>

<p>Furthermore, we would like to work more intensively on the following topics in the future:&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
	<li>Expanding waste separation on the entire site, increasing the recycling rate and improving the visibility of material flows&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Complete abandonment of diesel-powered generators&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Reduction of car travel and expansion of alternative travel options&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Re-establish the &quot;Melt Train&quot; to bring people to the festival site by train.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Extension of the Green Camp&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Accessibility of our websites&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Code of Conduct for service providers&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Social Ticketing</li>
</ul>
