KEMUT network in English
In 2020, some of Finland’s key live music operators joined forces to work towards a more sustainable music industry and founded a network called KEMUT (Kestävämmän musiikkialan työkalupakki). Their common goal has been to produce a sustainable music industry toolkit, which primarily serves the live music scene, as well as to employ a range of communication and education strategies to encourage music producers and consumers to adopt more environmentally friendly practices.
The KEMUT network partners are Finland Festivals, LiveFIN, Music Finland, Finnish Musicians’ Union, Jazz Finland, and the Association of Finnish Symphony Orchestras. Since early 2024, several new members have joined: Gramex, IndieCo, Kansanmusiikki-instituutti,
Maailman musiikin keskus, Musiikin edistämissäätiö (MES), Suomen Kansanmusiikkiliitto, Suomen Musiikintekijät, Suomen Musiikkikustantajat, Suomen Ohjelmatoimistot ja Agentit, Suomen Säveltäjät and Säveltäjäin tekijänoikeustoimisto Teosto.
This collaboration has led to many different sub-projects, including:
