What is the IMPALA Carbon Calculator?

The IMPALA Carbon Calculator is the first bespoke carbon calculator and environmental impact measurement tool for the independent recorded music sector, built with the support of the IMPALA membership and powered by the Julie's Bicycle Creative Climate Tools platform. The calculator helps IMPALA’s members measure their carbon footprint and identify hotspots to make members’ ambitions actionable, impactful, and scalable. It also helps collect information on how the independent music sector in Europe is taking environmental action Beyond Carbon. The platform is a part of IMPALA's Sustainability Programme and supports SMEs to meet their commitments under the Music Climate Pact.

How does it work?

The IMPALA Carbon Calculator can be used to measure the following impacts across your business:
- Office(s): Energy use, Water, Waste - Staff commuting - Business travel - Manufacturing of key product categories - Distribution - Key areas of purchased goods (e.g. IT and studio equipment) - Environmental actions under ‘Beyond Carbon’
The Tools’ methodology is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporation Standard (GHG Protocol), the most widely used framework defining reporting principles for auditing the GHG emissions of a company.
