We know the music supply chain, inside-out. Recording. Production. Manufacturing. Pressing. Packaging. Distribution. Physical. Digital. Merchandising. Marketing. We know how every process works. We know how every supplier works.
Our carbon scientists and music industry experts work out the most accurate carbon footprints possible.
We know how to ask for data from your suppliers, how to analyse it, and how to make sense of it.
Sometimes it is about box-ticking. We also make that easy for you by explaining it to everyone involved, and making sure what you report is true. We tell you where you comply, and where you need to do more.
We are here to do four things:
We are going to work out the carbon footprint for every release. No matter if a physical format, or digital, or merchandise. No matter what territory. And then we are going to help you reduce the carbon used in getting that product to the fan.
And finally we are going to help you offset what can’t be reduced. Carbon neutral means you offset the same amount of carbon as you emit. Climate positive means you offset more than you emit, making a positive difference to the world.
We have a series of labels and statements that can be used to communicate your climate action with artists and fans.
You can highlight being carbon neutral or climate positive by making it part of the artwork on your next release, or in your normal stickering. You can use our Certified logos and written statements in advertising, on websites, or even in official company reports.
