Hachette Australia Statement of Business Ethics

We are extremely proud of our reputation for acting fairly and ethically wherever we do business. This reputation is built on our company values, the values of our employees, and our collective commitment to acting with integrity throughout our organisation.

We wholeheartedly condemn corruption in all its forms and will not tolerate it in our business or in any business we work with. We also wholeheartedly condemn modern forms of slavery – such as forced or compulsory labour or human trafficking – in our business or supply chains.

We are committed to ensuring there is transparency in our business and in our approach to tackling these issues, and we expect the same standards from our contractors and suppliers.

We are also committed to sourcing products sustainably and to communicating our expectations clearly to our suppliers so that, together, we can produce our content in the best possible way for both the planet and the people involved.

Our Commitment to Professional Behaviour in Publishing addresses bullying and intimidation, freedom of speech, sexual harassment, diversity, and inclusion as well as discrimination; and it indicates Hachette’s steadfast commitment to safeguarding and upholding a professional, dignified, respectful and safe environment for all who work with, and for, Hachette.
