Walter de Gruyter Foundation
Bringing together one hundred years of tradition and change, the De Gruyter Foundation's mission is to promote research and scholarship.
Our Responsibility
At De Gruyter, our mission is to support scholars in their endeavor to give their best to the world. In addition, we aim to reduce our environmental footprint, foster a culture of learning, contribute to social progress and create an inclusive environment that cherishes diversity.
We aim to decrease our environmental footprint and impact on the planet through a number of initiatives.
We believe we have a responsibility, not just to the scholarly communities we serve, but also to society. We are committed to disseminating new knowledge and supporting academic learning.
We prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion and want to create an environment that respects and values difference. We aim to foster cultures that minimize bias, value inclusion, and address systemic inequities by investing in resources for equal opportunities.
We have signed the SDG Publishers Compact as part of our commitment to sustainability. The Compact is a voluntary commitment to sustainability goals for the publishing industry. It is based on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and includes 10 steps that the publishing can take to help achieve the SDGs.
We are happy to be among the DE&I Movers of 2022. The DE&I Mover is a signet for companies that care about the topics of diversity, equity & inclusion. Companies with this signet have made a strong commitment to change and progress in these areas.
We are the founder and sponsor of several academic prizes through The Walter De Gruyter Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes research and scholarship.
