Is Sustainability measurable? The Values of Assessments, Certifications and Labels

How do assessments, certifications and labels affect the effectiveness and visibility of our sustainability activities? What standards and labels are there in Germany and internationally, and which are relevant for musicians, ensembles or event organisers in the contemporary music scene? How does the scene deal with so-called voluntary commitments?

The expert input will be provided by Dr. Ralf Weiß, Managing Director of the REFLEXIVO Office for Innovation and Change, Chairman of the Network Sustainability in Art and Culture (2N2K Deutschland e. V.) and member of the European Expert Network on Culture (EENC). The good practice example is provided by the Ensemble Modern. In the last third, all participants are invited to discuss their own questions and experiences with the input providers.
