To harness the power of the music industry towards inspiring transformational action on the climate crisis.

Purpose

By aligning as a sector, we stand to de-politicise sustainability and address our biggest environmental impacts in an efficient and collaborative way.  

There is a lot of work to be done if we are to become a more sustainable industry, but we will be guided by climate science and take tangible, unified action and regularly update on our progress.

The Pact’s founder signatories have committed to:

• Take individual and collective action to measure and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3)

• By February 2022, have either signed the Science Based Targets stating that we will commit to setting science-based targets or will have joined the Race to Zero programme

• Work together as an industry to establish carbon measurement methodologies, tools and frameworks backed by climate science

• Work in partnership with shared suppliers and digital streaming platforms (DSPs) to obtain data and drive emission reduction projects in a collaborative fashion

• Support artists in speaking up on climate issues

• Communicate openly with fans about the impacts of the music industry.

Businesses signing up after the launch must have already signed up to one of the two pathways.
