"This report highlights publishers’ activities and progress that relate to each of the 17 SDG goals. In some cases, these activities are core to what publishers do best, for example ensuring quality education. For other goals, such as clean water, the activities may be more indirect, and this report has been instrumental in expanding our perception of the broad range of ways in which publishers contribute to the SDG agenda. In each goal, there are reoccurring themes that are required as a basis in order to achieve the set targets. For example, there are clear links between improving literacy and ending extreme poverty. This executive summary will help make articulate these themes and also highlight areas where the industry can drive progress. The key findings are summarised below: 1. Content is king: What we publish remains core to progress the SDG agenda [...]; 2. Equal opportunities for all: the power of diversity and inclusion [...]; 3. Building smarter generations: Education remains a key focus [...]; 4. Stopping climate change: Publishers are getting serious about their footprints [...]; 5. Let’s work together: Partnership and collaboration remain important." (Executive summary)
