Sustainability at Epidemic Sound

Climate

Our climate commitment

We are committed to growing our business while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. Our near-term targets are verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), using 2023 as our base year:

• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 52% by 2030
• Ensure 80% of our suppliers by emissions hold science-based targets by 2028

In 2025, we achieved zero market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions through 100% renewable electricity sourcing across our offices.

How we operate

Our artists

We are committed to empowering our artists with essential tools, knowledge, and resources to fully realize their potential.

We have an established framework for equitable artist remuneration, grounded in transparency and fairness. We believe that equal opportunities such as remuneration will attract a diverse pool of artists who can create an equally diverse pool of sound. 

We are dedicated to evolving our operational methodologies to integrate emerging technologies, such as AI, in collaboration with our artists.

Protection of music

Music is at the core of our business and when we acquire music our artists trust us with their creations, and we want to uphold that level of trust. We have gone beyond legal requirements in adding prohibitions to where our music can be used, these can be found in our license terms.

Our people

We are an inclusive workplace where hiring and promotion are based on merit. We track gender balance, employee engagement and other employee related metrics and use that data to improve our workplace processes.

Governance and fair business

We conduct business with integrity. Our Code of Conduct applies to all employees, contractors and Board members. We expect the same from our suppliers through our Business Partner Code of Conduct.
