Our Commitment to Professional Behaviour in Publishing is adapted from the original British version established by the Association of Authors’ Agents, The Booksellers Association, The Publishers Association, and the Society of Authors.

 

It 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.

 

It is underpinned by the following four principles:

  1. We support and are champions of creative expression and freedom of speech. We understand the power of what is printed and published and will endeavour to protect the passion, imagination, and creativity of everyone in our industry.
  2. We celebrate, actively promote, and cultivate diversity and inclusion in all its forms. We are working towards improving inclusion and access for everyone in our industry.
  3. We recognise our influence and make a commitment to work together to prevent abuse of power, creating a work environment free of discrimination, and harassment, including sexual harassment, bullying and intimidation.
  4. We support and are sensitive to the mental health of our colleagues and other industry professionals as well as those experiencing chronic illness, neurodiversity, disability, and other physical challenges. We recognise that not all disabilities are visible
