Our Eco-Conscious Promise

REDUCING OUR FOOTPRINT. Understanding our impact is just the beginning. Here’s what we’re doing about it.

Our Goal

Current and future operations will center eco-consiousness and sustainability. We will:

Offset Environmental Impact

Publishing is our passion and protecting the planet is our responsibility. Each year, we will donate to a BBB-certified tree planting organization, calculating our gift based on how many pages our publishing house prints. And that’s just the start—future initiatives will address water, land, and energy impacts as we move toward a fully offset footprint.

Maintain Minimal to Zero-Waste Operations

We practice what we preach. Behind the scenes, we keep our operations as close to 100% paperless as possible, reducing internal printing to little or none. It’s a small but meaningful step in our larger commitment to environmental responsibility, and one we invite our community to consider in their own spaces too.

Use & Promote Eco-Conscious Products

We believe in spending with purpose. We will primarily purchase eco-friendly, consciously sourced supplies from trusted B Corp vendors—companies independently verified for their commitment to people and the planet. Choosing eco-friendly, consciously sourced materials isn’t just a business decision for us; it’s a reflection of the world we want to help build, one purchase at a time.

Promote a Circular Economy

Great books belong in great hands. When physical inventory builds up in storage, we don’t let it sit—we bring it to the communities that need it most. Through partnerships with local libraries and schools, we will donate or sell these books and products, keeping resources in circulation and supporting the students, educators, and readers who make up the heart of our community.

Other Conscious Efforts

We will spotlight indie bookstores, explain why local booksellers need your support, and link all recommended reads through BookShop.org, a global hub for independent booksellers where every sale makes a real difference for stores, authors, and publishers alike.

Transparency matters to us. Each year, we will share an impact report celebrating our creative and environmental accomplishments while outlining the goals we’re holding ourselves to in the year ahead.
