Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sony Music Group believes that driving positive impact to shape our business culture, teams, artists and songwriters, clients and in turn the world, is a critical measure of success. From helping create positive representation of people with disabilities in media and entertainment to turning allyship into action, our partnerships help our initiatives and investments to support individuals and external communities that have been historically denied representation and resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By partnering with organizations led by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and gender diverse leaders we work to drive impact on our own company culture and ensure that impact reverberates throughout society at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
