Sustainability

We work with partners to ensure that together our practises are globally responsible and fair. Paper production comes with an environmental cost. To help reduce the impact, we are moving our production to printers that use FSC-certified paper. Forest Stewardship Council UK is committed to sustainable forest management and supply chain integrity. Our health and wellbeing imprint, Toran Press, was the first imprint within our business to start using FSC-certified paper and vegetable-based inks. These inks use plant oils, such as soya, which are less harmful to the environment than petroleum-based inks.

Books for everyone

We pride ourselves on creating content for all age groups that will have global appeal and be translated into multiple languages. To ensure our content has broad appeal we use a highly illustrative approach and lively, informative editorial that inspires and educates. We strive to produce something for everyone, developing content across a wide range of genres from early learning, education and reference to fiction and health and wellbeing.

Quality at a great price

We collaborate with talented authors, illustrators and experts in their fields to ensure that our content is second to none. We partner with manufacturers that are committed to producing books that are tested at certified laboratories and meet the necessary regulations required by our customers across the world. We consolidate our print runs to ensure we get the best product price to enable us to offer our customers and end users good prices.

Pushing boundaries

Innovation is at the heart of what we do. We continue to look for ways to push our creativity to greater heights by maintaining an awareness of current trends globally, great concepts, and new formats, and reaching out to emerging talent. We keep a close eye on new production techniques and opportunities to produce exciting formats and engaging books plus products. We recognise the importance of adapting to changing markets, and the need to review processes and productivity and our business model to ensure we are delivering the best we can.

Engaging and empowering

Reading is a pleasure, an opportunity to expand our minds. We hope our content inspires and empowers our readers, making a real difference to their lives. Reading can promote increased understanding of self and social identities, knowledge of other cultures, instil confidence in our ability to learn, and improve language and communication.
