Openair Gampel
Sustainability Charter

Become a volunteer at Openair Gampel

As part of Openair Gampels' sustainability strategy, we ensure that waste is separated cleanly and that as many materials as possible are collected.

We are looking for 150 volunteers who would like to join our Zero Waste Team. For just 12 hours of work, you will receive a festival ticket and of course the opportunity to be part of a motivated and fun team.

Take care of yourself

Openair Gampel is an integral part of cultural life in Valais and Switzerland. This sustainability charter particularly concerns the environment of the beautiful Valais nature, which we want to take care of. This forms the basis of our goal to operate sustainably and fairly.

Working together

We seek dialog with all key stakeholders in order to gather ideas and focus on what is important. We listen! Together with other organizations, we aim to help develop and actively implement sustainability standards.

Do the right thing!

What we do should have a solid foundation. We focus on what we can positively influence with our partners.

Say what we do

We want sustainability to be clear and tangible for our visitors. Our actions should make a real impact – and be visible in everyday festival life.

Significant reduction of the CO2 footprint!

  • Per visitor 8.9 kg Co2
  • Total amount of waste 58 tons
  • 54.2 % of the waste is recycled
  • Energy consumption per person 3,731 kwH; reduction of 1,172 kg Co2 per visitor

Our vision

We have drawn up three visions to guide us over the next few years:

Zero
Waste

We do not produce any waste, neither on nor off the stage. Everyone is responsible for their own waste.
With volunteers on site, we ensure that the site is clean so that little waste is produced and what is left behind is recycled as far as possible.

Our motto is:
No waste!

Everybody
is a VIP

Every guest is equally important to us, regardless of their physical or mental fitness or social status - everyone is welcome here! We want to strengthen social cohesion.

Our motto is:
Everyone is a VIP!

Not bigger,
but greater

We learn from experience and create enough space for every guest: more air and more room to party! Quality is more important than quantity.

Our motto is:
Not bigger, but greater!
