The RBX GmbH and the Reeperbahn Festival are guided by the values of DIVERSITY, SUSTAINABILITY, and GENDER EQUALITY. The festival is a founding member of the Keychange initiative, which advocates for a 50/50 gender ratio at festivals and in music organizations worldwide[2].

The Reeperbahn Festival actively promotes sustainability and social responsibility. It encompasses a wide range of pop culture and social issues, such as various forms of discrimination, awareness work, and sustainability in its programs.
