Code of Ethics

Code of Ethics and Shared Values

Sutton Jazz is committed to promoting a respectful, inclusive, and environmentally conscious environment for all its artists, audience members, volunteers, and staff. This code serves as the framework of principles and values that guide our actions.

1. Respect and Inclusion
We are committed to respecting the rights, dignity, and diversity of everyone involved, regardless of gender, origin, religion, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation. We foster a courteous and inclusive environment where everyone feels
welcomed and valued. Discrimination, harassment, or violence—whether verbal or physical—do not reflect our values.

2. Environmental Commitment and Eco-Responsibility
We aim to adopt eco-responsible practices, reduce our ecological footprint, and encourage recycling, reuse, and waste reduction. We invite everyone to respect natural resources and support sustainable modes of transportation, such as active travel or carpooling, in order to minimize the environmental impact of our events.

3. Integrity and Transparency

We communicate and interact honestly with artists, visitors, and staff. We are committed to managing our resources transparently and providing clear and accurate information about our activities and schedules.

4. Respect for Musical Works and Content Creation

We value the work and rights of artists. Personal photos taken with smartphones and short video clips intended for personal sharing are welcome, provided they do not obstruct the audience’s view or disrupt the performance. We ask that entire concerts or musical works not be recorded or used without the musicians’ permission.

5. Media, Photography, and Privacy

By participating in the festival, attendees acknowledge that official photographers and videographers will document the event. These materials may be used for festival promotion and media coverage. While we respect everyone’s privacy and will remove images upon reasonable request, crowd shots and wide-angle shots are standard practice in our public venues.

6. Responsible Behavior and Safety

Visitors, volunteers, and participants are asked to behave responsibly. We encourage everyone to treat the venue, sound equipment, and available materials with respect.

7. Active Participation and Cooperation

We invite visitors to participate actively and positively in activities and workshops while respecting other participants and the organizers. Volunteers work collaboratively, respectfully, and as a team to support the event.

8. Community Support and Local Solidarity

Sutton Jazz values mutual support and collaboration within the community. In partnership with local businesses, schools, and organizations, we support the regional economy, promote arts education, and share musical knowledge across generations, particularly with young people.

9. Collective Contribution

We believe that creating a pleasant, safe, and well-organized environment is a shared effort. Everyone is encouraged to contribute positively to the smooth running of events, to adhere to schedules, and to notify the organizers of any delays as soon as possible.

In Conclusion

These guidelines help ensure an enriching, harmonious, and safe experience for everyone. Every participant is encouraged to embrace these principles to foster a friendly atmosphere at all Sutton Jazz events.
