Diversity and inclusion

Our goal is to keep diversity and inclusion at the heart of what we do and our commitment starts with our leaders. We have established diversity councils in the US and UK to ensure we stay focused on our aim, which is to build an inclusive working environment for all our people.

Our vision is to be a company that reflects the world in which we operate; we took the lead in our industry as the first media company to establish a proactive diversity and inclusion team and policy.

Pearson, Penguin, and the FT have joined forces to create a corporate 'It Gets Better' video.

The It Gets Better Campaign was set up by Penguin Group (USA) author and columnist Dan Savage and his partner, Terry Miller, to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teenagers. It all started with a video that Dan and Terry posted on YouTube to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives can reach - if they can just get through their teen years.
