The Other Scopes: NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET

In this special edition series of the Sustainability Business podcast by Schneider Electric, we explore "The Other Scopes". These are the industries that may not immediately come to mind when we think of decarbonization, but nonetheless have a huge impact on our lives and on the planet. In this first episode of the series, we kick off with the music industry, featuring special guest Lewis Jamieson, co-founder of Music Declares Emergency, an organization that focuses on greening the music industry and engaging artists and fans in the fight against climate change.
Join us as Schneider Electric Sustainability Consultants, Moritz Scholz and Jonathan McDonnell explore with Lewis fascinating questions like: what is the most sustainable band in the world? How do the emissions from music streaming compare to other formats? And what can be done to encourage the music industry and its supporters to act in a more environmentally conscious way?
