A Commitment to Supporting Communities Globally and Locally

Sony Music Group’s (SMG) approach to giving is to affect change in communities around the world that need it most, both inside and outside the music industry.

Our goal is to establish meaningful partnerships and provide strategic investments with well-established organizations that implement and operate charitable endeavors directly impacting historically excluded populations and industry-related causes. The Company’s philanthropic focus supports a variety of non-profit partners in areas of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), COVID Relief, Environmental Sustainability, and Social Justice.
