Together, not just participating – Here's how it works:

Do you want to consider relevant topics related to people and society surrounding your event? The Social Compass helps you navigate in that direction. With your decisions as an organizer, you can not only counteract discrimination but also test, shape, promote, and spread ideas for the common good and sustainability in real-time.

The circled question mark symbols (?) provide background information on our decisions and sources for each topic area (see also Transparency Statement). The info symbols (i) offer specific information and tips on individual criteria (e.g., promoting cultural education).

The results view helps you assess the status of social sustainability – check now where the social potential of your music event lies!

Please note, your results will not be saved if you refresh the page: download your result as a pdf to compare the score with your next event or to discuss it with colleagues.

Working hours, breaks, compensation for overtime, termination protection, and vacation are clearly and in writing regulated in the employment contract.
