The challenge 

The Enchanted Forest welcomes over 70,000 event attendees every year, for a magical immersive art experience. Bringing people into nature, showing the rich biodiversity in our woodlands, means sustainability is a key component of the event.

Being a sustainable event is part of the organisations identity and purpose. The Enchanted Forest has ambitions to minimise their environmental impact and needed expertise to ensure they do just this. 

How we helped

• Designed science-based net zero targets aligned to the Scottish Government.
• Developing environmental data collection processes to ensure key metrics can be measured.
• Designed a data informed net zero transition plan and sustainability policy.
• Lobbied systemic change such as sustainable travel across the Highlands of Scotland. 

The actions we devised went beyond traditional sustainable event management. By assessing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, setting targets aligned to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) and designing a plan to transition to net zero, we devised a best practice sustainable event framework. 

The Impact

ENVOLV designed a net zero transition plan that reduces the carbon emissions from the event each year. Through data, policy and a comprehensive plan, The Enchanted Forest can influence, lobby and form partnerships to drive impact.
