In times of a shortage of skilled workers and a changing society that is increasingly looking for a certain representation and value resonance in the work environment, the implementation of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI for short) concepts is no longer something that happens on the side, but a task!

The importance and necessity of DEI has long since reached the upper management levels of the music industry. But how are the big players in the industry going about it? At BMG - The New Music Company 2022, Pierrot Raschdorff has been appointed to a position specifically dedicated to this complex and comprehensive task.

But where exactly does the music industry stand in this process, both from an ethical and an entrepreneurial perspective? And what demands do artists make of their business partners in this context? And could the end result be the realization that the music industry is able to break through structures that are deeply rooted in society with the superpower of DEI?
