SAGE signs the UK Publishers Association Declaration on sustainability
We are very pleased to announce that SAGE Publishing is one of the first signatories to the UK Publishers Association Declaration on sustainability. This follows the setting up of SAGE’s global sustainability group earlier this year and our signature to the Publishers Compact of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the spring. This is part of SAGE’s ongoing and increasing commitment to sustainability, and to minimizing the impact our activities have on the environment. The declaration is below.
Publishing Declares
We, the undersigned, pledge to:
Join the global climate effort to limit warming to 1.5°C by setting ambitious, measurable targets across our own operations and extended supply chain to achieve net zero as soon as possible and by 2050 at the latest.
Protect nature and biodiversity, working with supply chain partners that are resource efficient, use sustainable materials and processes wherever possible in the content we produce, and constantly innovating to make use of new and recycled materials.
Collaborate with our peers, authors, illustrators, supply chain partners, and business partners to translate our climate aspirations and commitments into tangible actions to safeguard our planet for future generations.
Empower our colleagues to become climate literate and support them to bring that knowledge into the work that they do.
Use our expertise, platform, and voice to raise awareness and drive positive climate action wherever we can.
