The Eviota project aims to create sustainability reports connected to the financial accounts of companies, NGOs, and civil society actors. The first phase concentrates on greenhouse gases and air pollutants. We want to create reliable estimates of the carbon and other pollutants footprint of music-related (social) enterprises based on their spending (“connected financial and sustainability reporting”.)

Reporting the impacts of the entire value chain.

16:30: Meet and greet
17:00: Short presentation
17:15: Discussion of your reporting

The discussion will be based on the accounting documents sent to us in advance. We will create a first version of a simplified sustainability report about your music or film company (for profit, or non-profit.) we will not share any financial information in the meetup, only visualizations of risk heatmaps, and common reporting and sustainability problems.

Why connect to your accounting software?

The accounting system already records all those economic events that may have an impact on how your company, directly or indirectly, causes greenhouse gas emissions, uses precious water, or may help to close (or, accidentally, widen) the gender pay gap.

As soon as the modification of the EU accounting directive take effect, you will have to connect your financial accounts to your sustainability reporting.

No extra management time is needed: it is already recorded by every company’s accountant. The general ledger is recorded by your accountant. We start from the annual summary of supplier and buyer ledgers, or the trial balance that has this information.
It is not subjective. It states exactly what you were spending on.
It is more or less standardized across Europe—and almost all countries of the world, with the exception of the U.S. and some other countries. It is easy to reconcile with US GAAP based documents.
We need to use the same working document that your accountant uses to maintain an important objectivity criterion: connectivity.

This way your annual report will be consistent, if you say in the financial part that you spend 1000 euro on energy, then we will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions based on KWh volume of the the energy that cost you 1000 euros.

Magyarul

16:30: Találkozó, üdvözlet
17:00: Rövid prezentáció
17:15: Beszélgetés a vendég cégek adatai alapján

[Igény esetén 12.30-kor egy munkaebéddel egybekötött másik konzultációs alkalmat is tartunk.]

A beszélgetés előtt a vendégeket arra kérjük, hogy (a megfelelő titoktartási nyilatkozat aláírása után) küldjenek el pár főkönyvi kivonatot számunkra. Ez alapján a Reprex elkészít egy egyszerűsített, az éves beszámolóba opcionálisan beilleszhető, kapcsolt fenntarthatósági jelentést. A beszélgetés az érdeklődők valós adatain, számviteli kimutatásain alapul, de semmilyen bizalmas adat nem lesz látható. A beszélgetés célja, hogy valós számviteli alapoktól, egyszerű, egy óra alatt elkészíthető olyan egyszerűsített beszámolót készítsünk, ami segíthet zöld bankhitelek, zöld biztosítások, és fenntartható támogatások igénybevételére.

Egyre több nagyvállalati partner kér ilyen kimutatást akkor, ha a zenei cégek az értékláncukba, beszállítói láncukba kerülnek, vagy támogatást kérnek.
Egyre több EU-s és magyar támogatás fenntarthatósági beszámolóhoz kötött.
Idéntől egyre több bank és biztosító kínál az igazolhatóan fenntarhatóan gazdálkodó cégeknek kedvezőbb kondíciójú hitelt és biztosítást. A zeneipar számára különösen a biztosítási költségek csökkentése vonzó perspektíva.

Green Deal, this time for real

Daniel Antal, co-founder of Reprex will participate in the panel about on Thursday, November the 24th at 3.15pm about environment and sustainability in the music industry and introduce Eviota, our simplified, connected financial and sustainability reporting tool.

At LineCheck X, you can find out more about our projects

You can get a free, total value chain based sustainability report.
Find out how want to measure better with surveys gender diversity across Europe. And try our test surveys in English or Italian.
We will demonstrate how you can eradicate packaging waste from your music events by making the packaging edible.
And you can find out how we are trying to find where energy is going down the sewage, literally, with Thermowatt and the Green Deal Data Observatory.

Beta test our sustainabilitiy reporting tool

We are looking for beta testers for our simplified sustainability report that is made from your trial balance. We sign and NDA about your accounting data if you test with us, and you can test with older data, too. Beta testing is free.

Our solution benefits the music MSMEs and CSOs in several ways:

The European Commission estimates that the cost of connecting sustainability and finanical reporting will cost on average €10,000 for corporations. We want to bring down the voluntary reporting costs for MSMEs below €500 euro to benefit from green loans, green insurance and other green financing.
It provides them with a size adequate sustainability management and reporting tool that helps first the management of greenhouse gas emissions, and later sustainable water use, pollution, biodiversity, and recycling in their entire value chain (for example, it flags environmental risks in the supply base of a festival including equipment rentals, transport, security firms, catering facilities, etc.) by connecting standard accounting documents of the MSME with SNA and EEA science based benchmarks.
Our system will be extended to the management of social sustainability. We are also showcasing harmonized gender inequality data collection with our other project (see below.)

We will introduce Surveyharmonies, a survey recycling and survey harmonization tool. You can participate in our international gender bias survey in January 2023. Our team will also participate in the KeyChange Creative Lab on Friday, 25 November at 11.00.
You can learn about our Listen Local project, which helps local music ecosystems remain visible on global platforms.
We will offer you a cup of tea or coffee in an edible cup.

Harmonizing surveys on gender (in)equaliaty

Our Surveymonkey solution is better when you have many languages, or more complex questions, including watching a diagram, or showing a small video clip. It comes with a small fee. The Google Docs solutions (see or English or Italian demo will be offered for free.)

You can create better surveys with less cost: you only need to ask the information, or change of information, that is not included in our harmonized datasets. Shorter, better questionnaires, smaller samples sizes, huge cost savings.
When you make questionnaire-based research, you immediately get a history (the same question asked years ago) and an international comparison (the same question asked in other countries.)
Often you do not even have to pay for the survey, because somebody else has already made a similar taxpayer funded research and we can just get the data for you.

Survey harmonization is a powerful research tool to increase the usability of questionnaire-based empirical research. Read more on our blog.
