3 Executive summary Mysteryland has been rated against the Industry Green (IG) criteria based on emissions data and evidence submitted by Lyke Poortvliet (Sustainability Manager) covering the 2013 festival, and a comparison with the 2012 festival performance. In recognition of successful IG certification, Mysteryland is awarded the IG mark (3 stars) to use in its communications for one year, or whenever its IG certification results are superseded by a 2014 certification. Mysteryland is one of over 45 Industry Green certified organisations, and as such part of a collaborative sector-wide response to climate change and environmental sustainability. For more information on who is Industry Green certified please visit Summary of IG rating - Commitment - Understanding - Improvement - Communication - Overall Industry Green rating Your rating explained: Mysteryland has achieved 3 stars for Commitment, Understanding, Improvement and Communication and is therefore awarded 3 stars Industry Green overall for This is Mysteryland s second Industry Green certification. It was previously awarded 1 star overall for its first certification (2 stars for Commitment and Communication, 3 stars for Understanding and 1 star for Improvement). Mysteryland should be congratulated for this significant improvement as well as both absolute and relative Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reductions. Mysteryland Comparing 2012 & 2013 Total GHG emissions - tonnes CO 2e % decrease (based on energy use, water use, sewerage and waste) 1 Total relative GHG emissions i.e. per audience day - kg CO 2e (based on energy use, water use, sewerage and waste) % decrease Total GHG emissions refers to the absolute emissions related to Mysteryland activities (represented as CO 2e) and total relative GHG emissions refers to kg CO 2e emissions per audience day, i.e. the number of days each visitor spends at the festival. As Mysteryland is a one day event, the total attendance (60,000 audience members) is equal to the total audience days. The per audience day metric allows for comparisons with other festivals and ensures that a festival is neither rewarded nor penalised because it has had a good or bad season with regards to ticket sales. The emission sources covered in this assessment are energy use, water use, sewerage, waste and audience travel. The improvement rating is based on a comparison of relative GHG emissions (per audience day) from energy use, water use, sewerage and waste between 2013 and Audience travel emissions are excluded from the emissions total as they fall outside the Industry Green improvement rating.

6 Audience travel - Travel survey at ticket purchase or on the door; - Provide the option to buy a green parking ticket which compensates the CO2 emissions incurred by audience travel; - Promote car sharing with Toogethr. Mysteryland has been successful in achieving commitment to environmental improvement from directors, staff and crew using the following means: Directors and staff - Weekly meetings with environmental sustainability agenda items; - Before the event the sustainability action plan and budget are approved by the directors and presented to the Mysteryland team; - After the event the evaluation report is presented to the team. Festival crew - Sustainability information, protocols and recommendations are communicated via: o Briefings (also given to sub-contractors); o The Crew Booklet (given to everyone working on the festival); o Discussion on location; o Production Bible (every crew member is given a digital version of this document); - The Sustainability Producer ensures that all guidelines are being followed by subcontractors and their respective staff. Mysteryland engages its supply chain in environmental performance using various strategies. Before the festival, the requirements and goals as set out in the sustainability action plan on food, power and waste, are communicated to all suppliers and external producers. Mysteryland creates guidelines for all sub-contractors and food partners, with some compulsory and contractual and others voluntary. Mysteryland works with a three-year policy called ask, require, switch, which requires that suppliers make any changes conceived necessary from their first year of contract within their second year of contract. If these changes have not been realised within the third year of contract, Mysteryland will write a revised tender to enlist a new, more sustainability-focussed supplier. Mysteryland has created a Festival Food Guide (the last version dates from 2013) which includes the stipulation that all coffee, tea, sugar and chocolate must be local or Fairtrade. It also requires the use of the following labels on all appropriate food items: There is also compulsory criteria on waste and packaging so as to generate as little waste to landfill as possible, as well as recycling instructions to which all vendors must adhere. Mysteryland includes a section on energy within the Festival Food Guide which includes information on fuel Industry Green Event Report - Mysteryland 2013 CONFIDENTIAL 5

7 use, advice on monitoring consumption, as well as recommending the use of energy efficient equipment. Further sections include advice on vendor transportation (reducing impacts), water management (using re-fillable water bottles, using biodegradable hand-soap and cleaning products etc.) and concludes with a section requesting specific information relating to sustainability that can be communicated to audience members. Mysteryland has created various audience-focussed initiatives including: Provision of local, organic and Fairtrade food and drinks, with corresponding information on the Mysteryland website and on-site signage; Provision of drinking water points and water bars, with an accompanying communications campaign about using re-fillable water bottles; Information on car-sharing and shuttle buses on the website to encourage audience members to use more sustainable transport options; 10,000 hours project - a volunteer day where Mysteryland staff and a large group of volunteers work on a project in the surrounding natural area and donate the hours to the 10,000 Hours Foundation; Trees for traffic - a project to give audience members the opportunity to offset their travel emissions when purchasing a parking or shuttle bus ticket. They are then given the opportunity to plant a tree; the 2,000 th tree has been planted and a festival forest has been created in the camp vicinity. ID&T, Mysteryland s parent company, also shares a strong environmental sustainability commitment. Their aim is to work on innovative sustainable solutions, contribute to the beauty of a festival location and preserve the environment at the same time. ID&T have created Celebrating Life, a brochure explaining what ID&T and its festivals are doing on their three pillars of sustainability (nature, unity and talent), with sections referring to resource management, sustainable sourcing, energy management, community development and innovation. To maintain 3 stars for Commitment, Mysteryland will need to continue regularly reviewing, and where necessary, updating its sustainability policy and maintain its commitment to reducing its environmental impacts from staff, supply chain and audience members. Mysteryland should also consider how to gain commitment to improving environmental performance from its incoming artists. Industry Green Event Report - Mysteryland 2013 CONFIDENTIAL 6

8 1.2 Understanding Understanding 3 stars Measuring at least five sources of environmental/sustainability impacts this must include energy use, water use, sewerage and waste and at least one other source of impact. Your rating explained: Mysteryland has provided data for energy use, water use, sewerage, waste, and audience travel for three consecutive years. As such, Mysteryland is awarded 3 stars Industry Green for Understanding. Analysis: Mysteryland is measuring five sources of environmental impact: energy use, water use, sewerage, waste and audience travel. Audience travel data is based on information supplied by contractors Eventtravel and Touringcars. Mysteryland has also commissioned a Traffic Support report as well as carrying out their own travel research. Some assumptions have been applied to calculating distances of transport modes, however the methodology used is deemed acceptable. Going forward, Mysteryland should look to include distance data collection within their audience survey. IG data and results are summarised below. Please note that all data submitted for previous years have been re-calculated using the most recent emission conversion factors, and therefore carbon totals might differ from previous Industry Green reports.

13 1.3 Improvement Improvement 3 stars Environmental/sustainability improvement strategy or action plan in place. AND reduction of at least 6% in annual relative GHG emissions (covering as a minimum emissions related to energy use, water use, sewerage, and waste). Your rating explained: Comparing 2013 to 2012, Mysteryland has achieved a 9% reduction in its GHG emissions per audience day from energy use, water use, sewerage and waste. Mysteryland has a set of environmental goals and actions in place, as set out in its sustainability action plan which is updated each year. As such Mysteryland is awarded 3 stars Industry Green for Improvement. Improvement is rated based on relative results (i.e. per audience day). The per audience day relative result allows for comparisons with other festivals and ensures that a festival is neither rewarded nor penalised because it has had a good or bad season with regards to ticket sales Data analysis year on year comparisons Table 4 Progression of environmental performance % increase/ decrease 2013 to 2011 Total energy, water, sewerage and waste per audience day - kg CO2e Energy use related emissions per audience day - kgco2e Energy use per audience day (red- and bio-diesel) - litres Travel per audience day - kg CO2e % increase/ decrease 2013 to % decrease 9% decrease % decrease 6% decrease % increase 7% decrease % decrease 6% decrease This is Mysteryland s second Industry Green certification and it has made three years worth of data available. Comparing 2013 with 2012, Mysteryland s GHG relative emissions (i.e. per audience day) from energy, water, sewerage and waste decreased by 9%. Comparing 2013 with the first year for which data was provided (2011), relative emissions decreased by 24%. These excellent reductions evidence the ongoing commitment to environmental improvement from Mysteryland staff and the effects of a wide range of initiatives in place at the 2013 festival. Looking at energy consumption in more detail, absolute red diesel consumption is 5% lower in 2013 compared to 2012, and 7% lower per audience day. GHG emissions (CO2e) per audience day from red diesel consumption also decreased between 2013 and 2012 by 7%. Biodiesel use decreased in absolute and relative terms (i.e. per audience day) by 13% and 15% respectively; biodiesel use is zero carbon rated. Mysteryland has implemented several initiatives to promote fuel rationalisation, including: improved communications with crew members in regard to generator management, having more control over energy requests and charging for overconsumption; and technical improvements including: procuring more efficient electronics, and cooling beer by ICEK (resulting in a 58% energy reduction). Industry Green Event Report - Mysteryland 2013 CONFIDENTIAL 12

14 Total waste volumes decreased by 15% from tonnes in 2012 to tonnes in 2013, and waste per audience day decreased by 16%. Of the total waste produced in 2012, 41% was recycled and 59% sent to landfill. In 2013, recycling rates improved by 4% to 45%, and waste to landfill decreased to 55%. Absolute emissions resulting from waste sent to landfill were 21% lower in 2013 compared to 2012, and 22% lower per audience day. Mysteryland has worked hard to improve its recycling infrastructure and provided seven high-profile recycling points across the site as well as having a Green Team of 60 volunteers on hand to offer assistance and guidance. Both absolute and relative water use decreased by 43% between 2012 and Absolute sewerage volumes increased by 100% over the same time period, and by 97% per audience day. Julie s Bicycle has not been given any evidence to suggest why there is such an increase in sewerage volumes between 2012 and Absolute audience travel emissions decreased by 5% between 2012 and 2013, and 6% per audience day. This decrease in relative emissions could be attributed to Mysteryland s continued provision of shuttle buses as well as partnerships with car-pool company Toogthr which in 2013 had a 30% increase in use by audience members Benchmark analysis - comparison with Julie s Bicycle benchmarks The Julie s Bicycle benchmarks for the outdoor events sector have been developed for outdoor events with more than 20,000 attendees.
