Robertson Taylor have been sponsors of our Awards scheme for seven years now, but with the scheme taking 'a year off' they have kindly agreed to sponsor our website this year.Robertson Taylor also offer a discounted event insurance scheme for events which sign up to a list of green initiatives which AGF endorse.A Greener Festival co-founder Ben Challis said "Robertson Taylor have been fantastic supporters of our environmental work with live events over the years and their generosity in funding the running costs of our website this year is truly appreciated by the whole team at A Greener Festival. We also plan to keep on working with a range of strong campaigns we have already committed too including Powerful Thinking - the not-for-profit industry think-do tank working towards an energy efficient, low carbon and cost effective future for festivals; Love Your Tent - the campsite waste campaign created by Eco-action Partnership in association with A Greener Festival and designed to bond people with their portable homes; and our new project 8th Plate - a partnership with FareShare SouthWest and the Nationwide Caterers Association - it's a food waste project which aims to reduce the amount of food waste at events and develop systems to salvage food and redistribute food - before it goes off - and builds our work with Sustain who publish the ' Good Food for Festivals Guide' and the ' Good Food Guide for Festival and Street-food Caterers'. We also plan to keep supporting the GO Group (Green Operations Europe); we now have a partnership with the ILMC to present our annual conference, Green Events & Innovations in 2016. On top of this we plan to keep planting trees in Festival Wood! Robertson Taylor's support will make all of this possible - so it's a big 'thank you' from us!"John Silcock, CEO at RT, added, “The environment is and will always be an important issue. As part of our community programme, we are delighted to support A Greener Festival’s work and to support festivals that are reducing their environmental impact.”For more information about RT please visit http://rtworldwide.com/music-event-insurance/
