2025_FESTIVAL

In 2025, Phe Festival has been recognized by second consecutive year as one of the most sustainable festivals in Spain by obtaining the certification A Greener Future (AGF). This achievement is a tribute to our 11 years of commitment to the environment and our beloved home, Puerto de la Cruz.

This year 2026 we will go through the AGF audit again. It is an effort that involves reviewing and measuring our impact, from waste management and energy consumption to mobility and many other aspects of festival production.

Every year we incorporate new details, measures and improvements to continue moving towards a more environmentally responsible Phe. You can check all of them on this page.

An alliance for our forests. This year we are taking another step in our commitment to the environment and joining, for the first time, a reforestation project of the Canary Islands forests together with the Foresta Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the recovery, conservation, and maintenance of the islands' forests. With each new planting, they help recover and protect the valuable natural heritage of the Canary Islands.

How can you join? At the end of the festival, when you return your reusable cup, you can choose between getting your one-euro deposit back or donating it to Fundación Foresta. For every cup returned for the cause, we will donate one euro to reforestation projects.

Since its creation, Phe Festival it has chosen to integrate social commitment into the heart of its cultural proposal, promoting participation, diversity, and the care of people as central elements of its identity.

For the second consecutive year, we collaborate with AFES Salud Mental, this year, furthermore, our team has received a specialized training, delivered by the AFES team and adapted to the festival context, to continue moving towards a more inclusive space.

As part of this commitment, we also incorporated for the first time a sensory rest area inside the venue, designed to offer a space for calm and rest during the festival.

It is an honor for us to display the seal once again #CulturaQueCuida.

Consult our sustainability and equality policies

What we do at the festival

At Phe Festival we understand sustainability as a commitment that goes beyond the environmental sphere. It also involves taking care of people, promoting inclusion, supporting the social fabric and contributing positively to our environment. For this reason, we collaborate with various associations and entities that, in areas such as mental health, inclusion, prevention and environmental restoration, help us build a more accessible, safe, supportive festival committed to the Canary Islands.

AFES MENTAL HEALTH

We continue working alongside AFES Salud Mental to move toward a cultural environment that takes into account the well-being and mental health of everyone involved in the festival. In this edition, the collaboration has included specific training aimed at the staff, designed to improve the understanding of mental health and to provide practical tools to identify, prevent, and adequately handle different situations that may arise during the event.

As a result of this work, Phe Festival will also feature a space conceived as a rest and sensory regulation zone for those people who need to temporarily get away from the festival's own stimulation.

Furthermore, AFES has once again recognized our commitment by granting Phe Festival the “Culture that Cares” quality seal”, which highlights the work done to promote cultural spaces that are more mindful, inclusive, and respectful of mental health. During the festival, the organization will also be present to share information and raise awareness about this reality.
TENERIFE MEDICAL STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (AEMTE) We are renewing our collaboration with the Tenerife Medical Students Association (AEMTE), through its SCORSA section, which specializes in sexual health and HIV prevention. Their presence at the festival will once again take the form of an informational booth where awareness-raising and educational activities will be carried out, as well as the free distribution of
condoms and informational materials on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

SINPROMI

Phe Festival is once again partnering with SINPROMI, a public company of the Cabildo of Tenerife dedicated to promoting the labor inclusion of people with disabilities. Through this alliance, various workers will be integrated into different areas and teams of the festival, contributing to creating opportunities for labor participation and building a more inclusive and accessible event.

FORESTA FOUNDATION

This year we began a new collaboration with Fundación Foresta, a Canary Islands non-profit entity dedicated since 1998 to the restoration, conservation, and maintenance of the archipelago's forest mass. Its work includes reforestation and environmental restoration actions, as well as conservation, maintenance, and awareness-raising initiatives that seek to involve society in the protection and recovery of the Canary Islands' natural heritage.
Through this collaboration, Phe Festival will allocate resources to support restoration and reforestation actions in the Canary Islands. The initiative will help offset a portion of the carbon footprint associated with the festival and, at the same time, generate a direct positive impact in the Canary Islands through the recovery and restoration of natural spaces.

What you can do

At the end of the festival you will find a reusable cup drop-off area. Instead of taking it home or returning it for a refund, you can turn your cup into a contribution to the region: for each cup donated, €1 will go to the Foresta Foundation to support restoration and reforestation actions in the Canary Islands.

With a simple gesture, you will contribute not only to offsetting part of the environmental impact generated by the festival, but also to the recovery of natural spaces and the conservation of the Canary Islands' forest heritage.
