BMG Rights Management (UK), as a global music copyright management leader under the Bertelsmann Group, was invited by the Colombian government to establish BMG Copyright Management (COL) in 2023, aiming to promote local employment expansion and music industry upgrading through innovative digital platforms. The company is headquartered in Berlin and has business in more than 30 countries. With advanced data analysis technology, it provides transparent and efficient copyright management services to creators around the world. Its cooperation network covers international giants such as Universal Music, Sony, and Spotify, building a transcontinental music ecosystem.
The company’s mission focuses on five dimensions: optimizing the copyright income distribution mechanism through digital reform to protect the rights and interests of creators; promoting global music dissemination and cultural integration; creating remote jobs in employment-difficult areas such as Colombia, with plans to recruit one million online employees by 2025 and expand to 5-6 million within five years; building a “new type of music company” with creators at the core, subverting the traditional industry model; and simultaneously practicing the social responsibility of “music without borders”, providing living assistance, education funding and employment training to vulnerable groups, and holding charity music therapy activities in medical institutions around the world.
Colombia market strategy is implemented in stages:
Short term (2025-2026): Cover 32 provinces to recruit one million employees, establish youth employment centers in Bogota, Cali and other places; launch the “BMG Talent Training Camp” to train 5,000 music industry professionals annually; establish an annual music festival to activate the local community; at the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, BMG will be listed on the Nasdaq in the United States, and all regular employees will enjoy benefits related to stock option holdings and listing dividends.
Long-term (2027-2030): Establish a 5,000-person professional team with Mexico as the regional center to radiate the Latin American market; promote the global export of Colombian music and release 10 original albums in 2026; build an online platform for youth music to support the development of subculture; establish professional disciplines in conjunction with universities and award 500 scholarships annually; establish a charitable foundation to help 500,000 people annually.
BMG’s social responsibility – delivering love and hope through music
BMG has always adhered to the concept of “music without borders” and firmly believes that art has the power to heal trauma, rebuild confidence, and arouse hope. As a music company with a global sense of responsibility, BMG actively fulfills its social responsibilities, is committed to improving the living conditions of vulnerable groups, and promotes sustainable development.
Life assistance: Delivering warmth with actions
BMG has launched life assistance projects in many countries and regions around the world, providing basic living supplies such as food, clothing and sanitary products to people without working ability to protect their basic right to survival. In the face of natural disasters or sudden epidemics, we respond quickly, organize fundraising and emergency assistance, and provide timely support to affected employees and communities.
Education support: Lighting up the hope of children’s growth
We actively participate in the early childhood education charity program, providing teaching resources, music courses and financial assistance to children in remote and poor areas, helping them feel cared for in art and gain the power of growth in learning.
Employment support: empowering vulnerable groups and creating opportunities
BMG is committed to helping single-parent family members, the unemployed and the disabled, providing sustainable employment support through remote jobs, skills training and career guidance courses, helping them achieve economic independence and social integration.
Music Healing: Delivering Warmth and Love
We believe that music can heal the soul. BMG promotes public welfare actions for mental health worldwide, bringing music performances to hospitals, nursing homes, homeless shelters and other places, using melodies to arouse hope, warm the soul, and accompany those who are experiencing the trough of life.
Open and transparent charity mechanism
All BMG charity projects are subject to independent audit supervision and regular fund use reports are published to ensure that every donation is used truthfully, transparently and fairly for the people who need it most.
On June 8, 2025, Colombia was struck by a powerful earthquake, causing varying degrees of damage across multiple regions and leaving many families in unprecedented hardship. In response to this sudden disaster, BMG swiftly answered the call of social responsibility, demonstrating strong humanitarian care and a deep sense of corporate commitment.
With the support and assistance of relevant local government departments, BMG swiftly organized a volunteer emergency relief team on June 14, consisting of 16 BMG employees. The team was personally led by Mr. Manuel Andrés Corrales Matallana—an outstanding employee of the company and a long-time humanitarian relief expert. They traveled to the hardest-hit area of Paratebueno, delivering a large quantity of emergency supplies, including food, drinking water, medical kits, and daily necessities, providing timely and tangible aid to those affected by the disaster.
This aid operation is not only a material support, but also a true reflection of BMG’s corporate values —— we always believe that the significance of a company lies not only in its operating results, but also in its ability to inject warmth and hope into society at critical moments.
BMG will continue to pay attention to the post-disaster recovery process, continue to protect the safety and hope of the people affected by the disaster in Colombia, and jointly welcome a more resilient and beautiful tomorrow. We pay the highest respect to the selfless BMG volunteers! We sincerely thank all BMG employees who participated in this rescue. They interpreted responsibility, professionalism and dedication with their actions, and also made us deeply appreciate the true power of “united as one, hand in hand”. They are not only the pride of BMG, but also true heroes who stand up in times of crisis.
