Sustainability is becoming more and more of a priority for a wide range of industries, and the music touring business is no different.
Coldplay made headline news around the world when they announced a range of sustainability pledges which will shape their future tours. From investing in solar power to making use of carbon offsetting techniques, they’re exploring a wealth of different ways in which touring can be made more sustainable. Many other bands and tour managers are also focusing more and more on recognizing their tours’ carbon footprints and investigating ways of reducing the impact touring has on our planet.
At Music First Partnership, we’re committed to supporting our tour managers in meeting their sustainability goals, and have a range of initiatives in place to help. Keep reading to find out more.
Carbon offsetting
Our easy to use carbon offsetting widget, 360 Green, has been designed in house specifically with busy tour managers in mind. It’s a personalised system through which we help you meet your own individual carbon offsetting targets. This tool tracks the carbon emissions associated with every aspect of the tour before you even head off, showing exactly how many tonnes of CO2 will be produced.
The app will then offer you a range of options of how you can offset these emissions and meet your goals. From investing in hydropower or solar power to tree planting, we have a wide variety of carbon offsetting initiatives from which you can choose in place around the world.
Choosing the most sustainable accommodation
Another great aspect of the 360 Green widget is that it allows you to quickly evaluate hotels based on their sustainability initiatives. Our straightforward scoring system gives you all the information you need to make the right choice and meet your targets.
There’s no need to sacrifice any of your other hotel requirements to make the greenest choice. The app will offer you an array of hotels, all of which have everything you’re looking for, and from this selection you can opt for the one with the lowest carbon footprint. By making use of 360 Green, you can ensure that your stay not only meets your high standards but is also having the smallest possible impact on the planet.
