Building a sustainable business for the future
Ebooks and audiobooks, rather than paper books, sit at the heart of our publishing model. Unlike many publishers, we only print books when we sell them, which significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with large print runs, global shipping, air freight and the warehousing-and-returns system.
When we do publish in print, we do so carefully and deliberately:
Where print is involved, we aim to:
By not maintaining a permanent office and minimising daily commuting, we reduce our operational footprint and energy use.
We also believe that sustainable businesses are built by people who are supported to work well, not endlessly. Designing realistic workloads, encouraging proper rest, and avoiding overproduction are part of our wider commitment to long-term sustainability - for the business, for our team, and for the books we publish.
By signing the pledge, we commit to:
What we can do is make informed choices, stay accountable, and keep sustainability part of our decision-making as Pellerin Books grows.
This statement will evolve as the company does. As a small, growing publisher, we are realistic about what we can do today - and ambitious about what we want to do better tomorrow.
