Environmental policy of European Disc Golf Festival 2024
The organisers of European Disc Golf Festival promote environmental awareness and make every effort possible to ensure that the event causes as little ecological stress on the environment as possible.
European Disc Golf Festival takes responsibility for climate change and the carbon footprint in our field and continues to offset emissions and compensate for them. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact by monitoring performance indicators and implementing remedies in the main impact areas. Partners will be involved in fulfilling our vision through communication and training. Relevant stakeholders have been identified, and we cooperate to achieve the goal.
The event organization has improved the training of marshals, formal documentation, and monitoring of environmental performance. We have improved the monitoring of the event's carbon footprint and waste management system and aim to set a good example in terms of environmental issues nationally as well as internationally. European Disc Golf Festival aims to lay the foundation for a balanced economy and to make a green turn in Estonian society.
Key elements for European Disc Golf Festival will be to put effort into increasing environmental awareness not only among the members of the organization and stakeholders but also among spectators, partners, and teams. Environmental issues, such as selecting eco-friendly products and local services and reducing emissions, are taken into consideration and uniquely identified with each partner company.
In order to promote environmental sustainability and enhance responsibility, we aim to implement the following activities and ask our partners to follow them as well:
Promote environmental awareness in all our channels and communications.
Comply with all relevant laws and regulations and environmental requirements.
Require environmental responsibility from stakeholders, cooperative partners, and suppliers, paying close attention to cooperation with all landowners, residents, and road owners.
Set environmental objectives and targets and measure them.
Concentrate on energy-efficient and sustainable solutions, such as using renewable energy sources when possible.
Digitize competition documentation to the maximum extent possible and reduce the volume of printed documents to a minimum.
Reduce carbon emissions by searching for ways to optimize transportation and logistics to decrease emissions.
Offset carbon emissions by planting trees and recycling. We are trying to find new ways to apply carbon sequestration technologies.
