Publishing brings ideas and stories to life.
We produce trusted information. We connect creators and audiences. We invest in people and ideas. And we underpin the global knowledge economy.
At a time when the pandemic has driven us apart and society has become more polarised, we help people create moments of true connection – sharing what they love, debating ideas and celebrating the voices that mean most to them.
We build relationships of trust with government and key partners.
We ensure our members are informed and can effectively respond.
We provide every member with services that aid their long-term interests.
