Sustainability

We are circular by principle and regenerative by conviction!

The mission of the Festival Cruïlla is to create a meeting place for the cultural and social diversity of Barcelona and that sustainability and care for the environment are part of its DNA. We believe that big events have to tend towards a model of festivals aimed at local audiences, committed to the territory, citizens, the environment and innovation and we want to be pioneers.

We work on different aspects in order to reduce our impact, which is improving year after year. Now, our strategy is focused on reducing waste generation, with the aim of being a circular, regenerative and committed festival that unites culture, community and positive impact and that not only reduces impacts but also distributes value and inspires change.

We understand sustainability as a real and transversal commitment that has to be part of all the festival’s decisions, that’s why our actions go from planning to dismantling and from the way we move to the way we eat. With a local look and a global action, we make the festival a living, sustainable and purposeful space based on practices that reduce our environmental impact and generate social return.

That is why we have created the Cruïlla Sustainability Plan, which focuses on three major challenges:

🌍 To grow the circular economy within the festival

🔁 Promote a fairer, more accessible and committed culture

✍️ Promoure una cultura més justa, accessible i compromesa
