We are committed to reducing our impact on the climate and nature. We put this into action by finding ways to make our own operations more efficient, and by engaging our suppliers on the environmental impacts of our publishing supply chain.
Throughout 2023/24, we continued to work towards the three environmental sustainability targets that we set in 2021, and which we remain committed to achieving by 2025:
- Climate: be carbon neutral from our own operations (offices, warehouses, and business travel), with the aim of achieving a 50% reduction in emissions from these sources.
- Paper: source 100% certified sustainable paper for our print publications.
- Waste: reduce waste, increase recycling, and achieve zero waste to landfill in locations where this is possible, for example, areas where there is sufficient energy-from-waste and recycling infrastructure
As signatories to Publishing Declares and the UN’s SDG Publishers Compact, we have committed to raising awareness about sustainability through our content and with stakeholders including authors, customers, and suppliers.
