Festival Balélec is committed not only to the environment, but also to social and economic issues. Our aim is to be a responsible, rational and forward-thinking festival that takes a long-term view of all these different parameters. For several years now, we've been committed to rationalising our waste management, limiting noise pollution, recycling cups and crockery, providing pocket ashtrays and reimbursing public transport costs, all the while promoting dialogue with our partners and coordination with the various entities present on the campus. In this way, Balélec is showing that festivities can also be responsible!
