The Environment
Audience travel emissions to music venues are the single biggest contributor to the music industries carbon footprint - accounting for a huge 45% of the music events carbon footprint.
Coach travel is over 6 times more environmentally friendly than taking a car to a festival and last year those passengers who purchased their tickets with Big Green Coach saved the energy equivalent of almost 500,000 boiling kettles worth of C02 from entering the atmosphere. A big well done to all!
Unlike many travel companies we take the time to introduce key measures to limit the impact of our vehicles on the environment. We reduce the dead mileage of our coaches from the depot to the departure point by only hiring local companies to run our vehicles, we don't make unnecessary stops and ensure our coaches are full to capacity.
We have an environmental and ethical policy and should you want to review it
please download our environmental policy.
We also regularly take part in festival working groups to reduce the impact of live-events.
