Music-savvy carbon literacy trainers help businesses change their tune 

1 min read

A Staffordshire company is hitting all the right notes when it comes to helping the music industry achieve Carbon Net Zero. 

It’s hardly surprising that carbon literacy company ClimateEQ chimes well with festival organisers and record companies… its two directors are ex-music industry employees. 

Certified Carbon Literacy trainers Anthony Daly and James Dove make the most of their insider knowledge of rock and pop on their mission to decarbonise the musical landscape. 

They have worked with outfits such as Brighton Festival, Shambala Festival and the Association of Independent Festivals as well as a range of entertainment companies to help them neutralise their physical and digital supply chains. 

Kinver-based ClimateEQ was set up in the belief that music, entertainment, creative media and sports can play a key role in accelerating positive action on climate change. 

“We believe music is the perfect vehicle to help change people’s behaviours and attitudes towards taking positive climate action,” said James, pictured above, a former grassroots musician with experience of festivals and live events. 

“We work with many major and Indie entertainment companies and we are happy to help them formulate their plans for achieving Net Zero,” said Anthony, below, who has his roots in manufacturing and distribution in music. 

The company has since extended its range to take in the SME and local government sectors, supporting them to make actual carbon reductions through bespoke training courses designed by industry experts. 

Climate EQ delivers climate change awareness and action-based training for individuals and organisations. 

Practical tools are offered so that organisations can better understand the pathways needed to implement effective carbon reduction strategies.
