2 About BBC Hyde Park BBC Live in Hyde Park is a two day annual music event comprising Proms in the Park and BBC Radio 2 festival in a day.

3 BBC Hyde Park Scored 30/45 for Commitment Commitment is assessed based on: environmental policy and action plan integration of environmental sustainability in broader business mission, strategy or planning environmental responsibilities environmental procurement and sourcing stakeholder communications and engagement INSERT IMAGE Highlights Environmental policy produced by Festival Republic covering: waste, energy, water, transport, noise, air and light pollution, ecology, heritage and procurement Festival Republic takes a leading role within the events community such as through Powerful Thinking Dedicated sustainability team rolls out environmental initiatives Post- event Sustainability Report is circulated to staff Engagement with staff through intranet, website, newsletters and s etc Sustainability team liaises with traders and concessions through planning meetings, delivery and debrief stages. Targets, monitoring systems and environmental requirements are agreed and communicated Comprehensive environmental information is also uploaded to the artist intranet platform Audience environmental messaging (covering policy, actions, initiatives and carbon footprint) on website, social media, signage and onscreen Recommendations Continue to be a leader within the events community and weave sustainability into all mission and strategy document, including mention of your carbon target and Creative Green achievements Create a central procurement policy that collates all existing procurement documents Celebrate achievement with your staff, volunteers and contractors. Explain through your policy how far you've come and where you want to get to. Commission more creative content and programmes tackling environmental themes. Participate in The Season, an international initiative to promote creative responses to climate change in Final Report 5/18/17

4 BBC Hyde Park Scored 12/15 for Understanding Understanding is assessed based on: breadth and depth of understanding of environmental impacts extent to which environmental data is used inform action and track progress in reducing impacts Direct impacts Energy use Water use Wastewater volumes Waste generation INSERT IMAGE Highlights Reporting of direct impacts( energy, water and waste) for four years. Annual retrospective sustainability reports are produced by the Sustainability Coordinator. The reports collate all environmental impact data, reviewing performance and making recommendations for future improvement. Recommendations FR has recommended internally to start surveying audience travel which JB fully endorses Collect data on a further environmental impact such as production travel. Continue working with waste, water and energy contractors and use data on environmental impacts to inform actions and business practice and to determine the results of the actions taken. Communicate summary data to stakeholders to increase environmental understanding. 4 Final Report 5/18/17

5 BBC Hyde Park Scored 10/45 for Improvement Improvement is assessed based on: quantifiable reductions in direct environmental impacts, i.e. impacts over which an organisation has direct control such as energy use and waste generation, both total and relative impacts actions to address indirect environmental impacts, i.e. impacts over which an event has limited or no direct control, such as audience travel Environmental impact trends (based on direct and indirect impacts) Impact Unit Baseline year 2013 Previous year Current year 2016 previous year baseline year Trend over time Diesel use (all types) Energy use emissions (all sources) Water use Waste litres litres per audience day kg CO2e per audience day m3 litres per audience kg per audience day % 37% % 22% % 50% % 33% % 4046% % 3585% % 38% % 22% INSERT IMAGE 5 Final Report 5/18/17

6 Highlights Reductions from in diesel use (4%) and energy emissions (4%) due to generator efficiency Reduction in total water use (4%) and total waste generation (2%) All environmental impacts per audience day have increased significantly compared to 2013's baseline. This is partly due to improved data collection. Audience responded well to waste separation and traders met serveware and cutlery requirements Recommendations Continue working with waste, water and energy contractors to identify opportunities for efficiency. Use the Creative IG Tools to report travel data to Julie's Bicycle. Continue working with traders and bars, both in terms of planning energy use and waste management. Incentivise good practice through a green trader awards. FR has recommended internally to introduce reusable cups which JB fully endorses. Start penalising traders and contractors who do not comply with waste management strategies 6 Final Report 5/18/17

Its aim is to support you to: track and understand performance over time identify where you are doing well and areas for further improvement Carbon footprint trends (based on direct and indirect impacts) Carbon footprint Unit Baseline year 2013 Previous year Current year 2016 previous baseline Energy Water Waste water Waste Total carbon footprint Total relative carbon footprint Audience travel kg CO2e per audience day % 50% % 4045% % - 12% % - 97% % - 10% % - 20% % Carbon footprint for BBC Hyde Park of CO2e Waste water 1 Waste 1 Water 1 93 Energy 91 7 Final Report 5/18/17

8 Energy Use BBC Hyde Park is powered by diesel generators. Concessions have achieved huge reductions in diesel use. FR should check whether they have simply been substituting gas or not been reporting fully. BBC Hyde Park's diesel use is two thirds of the festival benchmark, largely due to being a non- camping festival. If 15% WVO biodiesel had been used, nearly 14 of CO2e emissions would have been avoided. Comparing 2016 with Absolute energy use has decreased by: - 4% Relative energy use has increased by: 1% Comparing 2016 with 2013 (the baseline year) Absolute energy use has increased by: Relative energy use has increased by: 37% 22% 0%Energy Mix Red diesel Biodiesel 100% Fuel type Diesel use (all types) - absolute Diesel use (all types) - relative Red diesel Red diesel Concession red diesel Unit litres litres per audience litres litres litres Baseline year 2013 Previous year Current year 2016 previous baseline 25,103 35,902 34,313-4% 37% % 22% 25,103 35,902 34,313-4% 37% 22,675 35,482 33,923-4% 50% 2, % - 84% 8 Final Report 5/18/17

The recycling and composting rate is 38% (37% achieved in ) and 23 of CO2e were avoided by recycling, composting and sending the residual to energy from waste. Hyde Park's waste generation is far below the JB benchmark due to it being a non- camping event.
