Austep Music Green Mission Statement
Raising awareness and engaging the industry
- A founding partner of the Australian Green Music Coalition, we encourage working together and collaborate with key industry figures including Music Council of Australia (MCA), and Julie's Bicycle.
- We support artists who seek to inspire change through their music.
- We provide free green music information (checkout our articles and forums).
- By actively influencing our suppliers to go green we encourage the development of industry capacity.
Eliminating the use of plastic jewel cases
- We offer a range of affordable card options (95% less emissions than plastic).
- Taking it a step further, all our cases are printed with 70% recycled stock and vegetable-based ink at no extra cost to our clients.
- We provide discounted card packaging rates to any industry figures who have regular demand for plastic jewel cases and wish to switch to card. Contact us for more info.
Leading by example
- We maximise energy efficiency in our office, limit and recycle waste, print with vegetable-based ink on recycled stock, and minimise the creation of packaging/promotional material.
- We limit travel, use public transport, carpool and utilise teleconferencing.
- Emissions that can’t be avoided are offset by accredited organisations who plant trees, protect old growth forest, and invest in the development of renewable energy.
Supporting the development of clean renewable energy
- We have partnered with www.propa.com.au to provide affordable solar installations for venues, offices and studios.
- Our office is run on 100% renewable energy.
Eliminating the misconception that going green is expensive and difficult
