Bertelsmann and Penguin Random House: Climate Neutrality by 2030 - Publishing Perspectives


Today as Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere, our adventuresome kitty decided to make a stop at the Publishing Perspectives site. There he found an interesting post. While not exactly about publishing, it is about the international publishing/media giant Bertelsmann.

Let's leave something good for our kittens.
According to the post by Publishing Perspectives Editor in Chief Porter Anderson, on Monday Thomas Rabe, chairman and CEO of Bertelsmann, announced the company will be climate-neutral by 2030. On Tuesday Markus Dohle, global CEO of Penguin Random House (PRH), announced to employees that PRH has already switched 98 percent of the company's paper purchases to certified (sustainable forests) mills. PRH will also be using 100 percent green energy by 2022. Penguin Random House is part of Bertelsmann. The post includes information on exactly how Bertelsmann plans to reach its goal by 2030. There's also a short video at the end of the post.

Panzer says, "This little kitty wonders when other publishers will follow Bertelsmann lead?"

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
