Pearson, the world’s learning company, today published its 2016 Sustainability Report, which highlights the progress made in implementing its 2020 Sustainability Plan and a continued vision for driving alignment between business and sustainability strategies.

Pearson’s 2020 Sustainability Plan is a five-year strategy to integrate social and environmental issues into every aspect of the business in order to drive growth and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The plan is centered around three pillars – be a trusted partner; reach more learners; and shape the future of learning – that outline Pearson’s work to:
Operate responsibly, create effective products, respect human rights, support people and communities, reduce its impact on the planet, build a sustainable supply chain, and ensure strong governance;

Reach more learners by improving access to quality education for learners from all backgrounds; and

Play a leading role in ensuring education prepares learners for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century and creates more inclusive societies.

“At Pearson, our mission is to help people make progress in their lives through learning,” said Amanda Gardiner, VP of Sustainability and Social Innovation at Pearson. “We strive to improve access to high-quality education and outcomes for all learners – no matter who they are or where they come from. Our 2020 Sustainability Plan is helping us to do this by ensuring we focus our business priorities on where we can make the most impact.”
