EDI TOOLKIT
IMPALA first launched its Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Toolkit as a pilot in September 2025, inviting members to test the tools and share their feedback. The toolkit was then launched more widely in April 2026 to help independent companies and organisations review and improve their EDI practices.
It is free for IMPALA members and was developed with the support of the IMPALA’s EU network grant.
The EDI toolkit is free to use and includes three main parts:
1. EDI Self-Assessment
Assess your practices and get tailored recommendations
A questionnaire adapted to different types and sizes of organisations. Users receive feedback on their EDI practices, along with practical recommendations on areas for improvement.
2. EDI Sector Survey
Mapping a picture of EDI across the independent music sector in Europe
The survey collects information on EDI practices across the European independent music sector. By completing the self-assessment, organisations also contribute to the sector survey, without having to fill in a separate questionnaire.
The results will help IMPALA identify common challenges and priorities. A new sector report is planned for spring 2027.
3. Online Training Platform
Build knowledge and take action
Five free online training modules covering different EDI topics. The courses can be completed at your own pace and provide practical guidance for companies and music professionals.
