Sustainability at a Festival.

Posted on Friday, April 14, 2023

DC Site Services has been vocal in its commitment to sustainability for a number of years, ensuring that any procurement first considers the environmental impact of the product, or service provided.

From our Operations office, where we source recycled stationary options and distribute downloadable material to minimise any paper trail, to each and every event site we visit, being green remains a central part of our company values and ethos.

It is estimated that 1500 plastic bottles are thrown away every second of every day, we’d therefore like to take the opportunity to remind our staff ahead of the festival season that we no longer provide any single-use plastic water bottles or plastic disposable plates/cutlery. As such, we encourage all crew to bring their own refillable bottles and reusable plates and cutlery to help us in our mission to reduce wastage across every event site.

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
