AWARENESS

Discriminatory and transgressive behaviour do not stop at our festival doors. That's why we are taking responsibility: with the help of external support, the m4music team has intensively dealt with this topic and has an awareness-raising concept in place.

Are you affected by boundary violations, discrimination and/or sexual violence? Do you feel uncomfortable? Contact our Awareness Team or report to our Awareness Point in the foyer of the Schiffbau. We take you seriously and support you.

TOILETS

In the basement (UG) of the Schiffbau building, there are women's and men's restrooms. All the portable toilets on the Schiffbauplatz (outdoors) are All Gender toilets. In the EXIL venue, there are exclusively women's and men's restrooms.

PROFESSIONALS

This is where the Swiss music scene comes together, exchanges ideas and celebrates the acts of tomorrow. Experience the festival as a professional: the Professional Pass not only gives you admission to all the shows, but also to professional events such as networking drinks receptions, as well as to the professional database with all accredited professionals.

ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY

m4music aims to continuously reduce its carbon footprint and to make the festival more ecologically sustainable. The following measures are already in place:

  • Since 2021, all catering services (food stalls for the public, catering for the artists and all the staff) have been exclusively vegetarian and vegan with local suppliers being used as far as possible.
  • The disposable tableware at the bars in the public area and at the food stalls is made of renewable raw materials and is biodegradable. It is disposed of separately from the remaining waste.
  • Waste is sorted consistently, both in the public and backstage areas.
  • The booking team focuses on engaging Swiss artists and international artists currently on tour. This way travel distances are minimised and the number of flights reduced. All flights are carbon-compensated.

Sustainability is a process. We have set ourselves further goals and aim to achieve them step by step.

HEARING PROTECTION

The legal maximum volume is complied with in accordance with the sound regulations. Ear plugs are available at the infopoint in the Schiffbau foyer and the Schiffbau check-in desk, as well as at the bars.
