SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUSION, EQUALITY:
SACEM IS COMMITTED

 

The entire music industry is impacted by the acceleration of environmental and societal challenges: the explosion of digital technology, the carbon footprint of festivals and live performances, but also women’s place in music, inclusion and diversity more generally, auditory health, and the rise of psychosocial risks in the music sector.
