Sustainability

Learning for a better world 

As the world’s lifelong learning company, creating a more sustainable world is a natural part of everything we do. Learning itself is the greatest force for change in our world and helping people gain knowledge and skills is, inherently, a way to improve our planet and our society.   

We do that every day by turning our products into vibrant learning experiences, focusing on our people, and protecting our planet. This forms the bedrock of our sustainability strategy, guided by our Learning for Impact framework.

Our Learning for Impact Framework

At Pearson, we focus on driving positive change while limiting our own impact on the world's scarce resources. Our Learning for Impact pillars are underpinned by robust governance, a strong culture and comprehensive policies.
