Julie’s Bicycle is a broad coalition of music, theatre and scientific experts committed to making creative industries green. Established in 2007 by the UK music industry, their ambition is global. Julie’s Bicycle has spent the last few years working with companies from across the music business – from festival promoters to record labels to music venues and music managers – to research the industry’s carbon emissions baseline with their research partner, the Environmental Change Institute, and other organisations including Arup and the RESOLVE Institute at Surrey University.
This research has informed the development of a not-for-profit certification programme, Industry Green – a simple framework supporting improvement in environmental sustainability for creative companies. Industry Green is supported by a series of industry campaigns, project partnerships and practical resources, including case studies and the free online carbon calculators the IG tools.
Their work with the music industry has now extended into theatre and they are currently working with London galleries, studios and art fairs to produce the Green Visual Arts Guide for the Mayor of London.
