What we do at the festival

At Phe Festival, we understand that sustainability is not limited to the environmental sphere, but also implies a firm commitment to people and our immediate social environment. Therefore, we work hand-in-hand with various local associations and entities that enrich the project with their experience and help us build a more inclusive, supportive, and transformative event.

AFES MENTAL HEALTH: entity with extensive experience and a key role in our inclusion strategy. Thanks to their training and ongoing support, our team acquires practical tools to build a more diverse, accessible cultural space that is respectful of the mental health of all participants in the event. This year, AFES has also recognized our commitment by awarding us the “Culture that Cares” quality seal. Their presence at the festival will also be visible with an information booth, where they will share resources and awareness campaigns. .

TENERIFE ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL STUDENTS (AEMTE): Through its SCORSA section, which specializes in sexual health and HIV prevention, its presence at the festival is materialized through an information booth, where awareness-raising activities are carried out, including the free distribution of condoms and educational materials on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

SINPROMI A public company of the Cabildo de Tenerife dedicated to promoting the labor inclusion of people with disabilities, we integrate our team into different areas of the festival. This alliance allows us to guarantee equal opportunities and reaffirms our commitment to a more just, inclusive, and accessible society.

ADEPAC ANIMAL SHELTER: A non-profit organization that for over three decades has been rescuing, caring for, and rehoming abandoned dogs and cats in Tenerife. With over 300 animals under its daily care, ADEPAC carries out essential animal protection and social awareness work in Ravelo.

Instead of taking it home or returning it for its deposit, you can donate it and turn it into a charitable act: for every cup returned, €1 will be directly donated to ADEPAC, supporting their animal rescue and care programs. Furthermore, we invite you to visit the stalls of our partners and learn more about the initiatives that make a more inclusive, safe, and sustainable festival possible.

We provide you with a fenced parking area for bicycles and scooters, thus promoting more sustainable mobility. Additionally, we offer vacation packages with nearby accommodation so you can walk directly to the venue. Aware of the importance of reducing our carbon footprint, we coordinate the travel of artists, staff, and suppliers to minimize trips and optimize vehicle occupancy. Likewise, we prioritize local suppliers and opt for food stalls offering zero-kilometer products.

We implement conservation systems at all water points in the facility and in cleaning processes. We also ensure proper management of wastewater to protect marine biodiversity.

What we do at the festival

At Phe Festival, we are committed to combating climate change by calculating and reducing our carbon footprint.
In the past edition, we measured our greenhouse gas emissions for the first time, and based on those results, we have implemented measures to keep them under control and reduce them whenever possible.

These actions include:

  • Optimize the event's energy consumption.
  • Prioritize local suppliers and materials to reduce unnecessary transport.
  • Reuse infrastructure and mounting elements instead of acquiring new ones.
  • Implement an efficient waste management plan, fostering a circular economy.

Our goal is for each edition to move towards a festival model with a lower climate impact.

What you can do

Your participation is essential to reduce the festival's footprint:

  • Choose sustainable transportation: use public transport, bike, or carpool to reduce emissions.
  • Consume mindfully: support local vendors and use the reusable cups and containers available at the festival.
  • Reduce your personal impact: dispose of waste in the appropriate bin and avoid wasting water.

At Phe Festival, we are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda Canaria 2030. Among them is SDG 15: Life on Land. Our priority is to protect the biodiversity and care for the natural and marine environment that surrounds us. To achieve this, we implement concrete measures:

  • We conducted a preliminary study of sensitive areas to ensure their protection during the event.
  • We reduce noise and light pollution through specific plans and technical assessments before each edition.
  • This year, we are organizing seabed cleanups in Puerto de la Cruz as part of the project Phe Circular

What we do at the festival

Phe Festival is committed to decisively advancing towards the decarbonization of the event in this edition. To achieve this, we will exclusively use state-of-the-art Stage V generator sets, powered entirely by HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), a renewable biofuel that significantly reduces net CO₂ emissions. Furthermore, a portion of the electrical consumption will be covered by connecting to the public grid, thereby reducing the need for ephemeral equipment and allowing us to take advantage of a supply increasingly based on renewable energy.

What we do at the festival

We prioritize responsible and sustainable purchasing, avoiding unnecessary acquisitions through rentals and material reuse. We favor local suppliers, thereby reducing transportation emissions, and select products designed with ecological criteria and long lifespans. This year, furthermore, our event will be 100% Plastic-Free, reaffirming our commitment to waste reduction. In the same vein, the merchandising products have been consciously designed, using eco-friendly, resistant, and durable materials

Likewise, we maintain a constant effort of awareness and collaboration with our suppliers, encouraging them to integrate more environmentally friendly practices into their purchasing and supply processes.
