By Emmanuel Legrand

IMPEL, the London-based licensing network of independent music publishers, has renewed its partnership for digital copyright management with French rights society SACEM. The two organisations had initially contracted in 2018. IMPEL represents a vast range of independent music publishers, from Bucks Music Group to Beggars Music, Reservoir Music to Reach Music Publishing.

"Together, we will continue to do everything we can to bring greater transparency and value to all its members and to defend a dynamic and eclectic musical repertoire," said SACEM CEO Jean-Noël Tronc.

Added IMPEL CEO Sarah Williams: "We have built an excellent relationship with SACEM and are very happy with what has been achieved so far. Both IMPEL and SACEM share an ethos of 'how can we do this better?'. As a consequence, we are getting great results with our distributions, and are making continual improvements to the way we do business. We anticipate an extremely positive future."
