​The festival was recognized for the work carried out in 2024 to reduce its carbon footprint, meet the Sustainable Development Goals, and offer Mallorca a greener festival each year. 

In collaboration, once again, with its sustainable sponsor, Endesa, the festival carried out two important actions in its last edition: the implementation of a hybrid battery system on Stage 3 - Endesa to reduce its energy consumption and the planting of the last of the 23 trees located in Casa Esment (Mallorcan Esment Foundation’s headquarters) to balance the festival's 2023 carbon footprint. In addition, the festival continued with its successful mobility plan to promote responsibility and commitment to the island, performing more than 22,000 transfers from Palma and Part Forana. The festival site featured more than 60 recycling points and, once again, several cup collection points to ensure the circularity of reusable hard plastic cups thanks to the festival's alliance with the Cleanwave Foundation.
