The music industry are promising to fix their environmental impact and Warner Music have announced their step to become climate-neutral.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the world’s biggest music labels and member of the big 3 majors, Warner Music Group (WMG) have outlined their environmental plans for the future. Amongst their goals is relying exclusively on renewable energy by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WMG’s Environment Social Governance (ESG)<\/a> report looks forward to their next steps as a climate conscious label. Warner Music CEO Robert Kyncl writes that the climate crisis is impacting the music industry “like never before”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He cites the disruption to concerts and festivals by climate fuelled disasters as part of the reason they’re “taking a leading role in reducing our own emissions”. The report specifically mentions an incident last year in which the equipment wouldn’t turn on at a Disturbed concert in Phoenix due to the intense heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amongst green-focused innovation is an industry first method of creating greener vinyl, with help from Sonopress<\/a>. WMG have partnered with MIT, Live Nation, Hope Solutions, as well as individual artists to study and reduce the impact of touring and live events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late last year, we reported on the news that all 3 major labels were putting aside their competition to form the Music Industry Climate Collective (MICC)<\/a>. Together they intend on examining Scope 3 emissions, the offshoots of producing and distributing products. WMG are also making plans to reduce their Scope 1 and 2 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
