Sustainability

We work on sustainability at an everyday level across our organization. Currently, we are addressing social, economic, and environmental sustainability in the following ways:

Social Sustainability
We uphold safer space principles in all our interactions with artists, the audience, and staff. Every year, we employ hundreds of artists, hospitality professionals, and hourly workers—each of whom is equally important to us and treated with respect and fairness.

Economic Sustainability
Our operations must be economically sustainable, as this enables us to organize events and continue to improve our activities.

Environmental Sustainability
In addition to everyday environmental actions, we began a collaboration with the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation at the beginning of 2020 and launched a fundraising campaign to protect a piece of Finnish forest.

In the spring of 2021, we introduced the Environmental Ticket, which can be purchased alongside a standard ticket for any event. Compared to the standard ticket, the Environmental Ticket costs an additional €3, which is donated in full to the “Tavastia Forest” fund.

Thanks to this fund, we were able to make our first forest purchase in early October 2024, acquiring a plot of forest near Sotkajärvi, close to Hämeenlinna, in collaboration with the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation. The forest, covering about 20 hectares, is home to a female lynx and her cub observed annually. This area is now protected and will be allowed to grow undisturbed, developing naturally toward an old-growth forest.

Our campaign will continue beyond this initial purchase, as our goal is to protect additional forest areas in the future. Read more about the Tavastia Forest project on the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation’s website, link below!

Additionally, a thesis titled “Tavastia Hall of Nature 2020–2021 as an Initiator for More Responsible Operations” was completed on this topic at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
