The 2030 targets
HOW IT WORKS
The Inclusion Pledge invites organisations across the UK music industry to set measurable goals for gender and ethnic representation in senior leadership and decision-making roles.
01
Set your targets
Adopt our 2030 targets of 50% women and non-binary people and 15% women from Global Majority backgrounds in leadership, or set your own to fit your organisation.
02
Choose your focus
Decide which areas matter most for your organisation. We offer guidance, and the priorities are yours.
03
Check in each year
Submit your data once a year and join peer learning sessions with other signatories.
