At Maraworld we are convinced that the responsibility of the promoters of a great recreational-cultural project such as FIB, goes well beyond designing its content, organising, producing and communicating it.

We acknowledge that carrying out a sustainable management that minimises environmental impact and is respectful of its surroundings is of the utmost importance.

With this goal in mind, FIB promotes the Green and Clean initiative which includes both actions that were already being carried out in previous years as well as other specific actions for developing key areas such as recycling, responsible water use and compensating our carbon footprint.

In the short and mid term, one of FIB’s main goals is to reduce its environmental impact to the minimum, implementing an action plan in order to make the Festival a more environmentally respectful event with a sustainable management that will place financial, logistic and environmental issues at the same level.

For this reason it has implemented a transversal action project with the following lines of action:

Compensating our carbon footprint: FIB’s goal for the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 editions is planting and taking care of over 2,000 trees, creating a true fiber forest that will help compensate the carbon dioxide emissions of the Festival.

Sustainable Purchases: FIB’s approach towards purchasing consumables for the organisation and festival services is a sustainable one, using recycled and recyclable materials as well as fair trade products.

Mobility: As well as collaborating with the authorities to efficiently manage the Festival’s impact on transit in Benicàssim, FIB carries out several collaborative programmes for the promotion of car pooling, shared and organised trips and bicycle rental for festival-goers. FIB also offers several collective transportation services both between Valencia airport and Benicàssim as well as in the town of Benicàssim, thus reducing carbon emissions.

The Festival also offers access for the disabled.

Responsible Use of Water: The Festival has installed flow regulators in all of the venue’s facilities. And green cleaning products are used.

Protection against Acoustic Pollution: We promote the protection of hearing amongst the audience through information campaigns.
