The SHIFT Eco-Guidelines for Networks recognise and address the ecological footprint associated with operating international cultural network-organisations.
The guidelines serve as a reference document for network-organisations that aim to minimise their footprint, optimise environmentally sustainable practices, and act as an example of good practice for their members and other networks. Their aim is to cover all major areas of their environmental impact, including operations, policies, activities, and governance. Special attention is given to travel and events, which are the main sources of carbon emissions for network-organisations. Implementing these guidelines will enable network-organisations to structurally become more environmentally sustainable.

The Eco-Guidelines for Networks is a result of a collaborative process between the SHIFT project partners, i. e. European Music Council (project coordinator), European Choral Association (ECA), European Union of Music Competitions for Youth (EMCY), ELIA, FACE, IETM, On the Move, Trans Europe Halles and International Music Council (IMC), and Green Leisure Group and Creative Carbon Scotland.
