Pearson combines a commitment to achieve its commercial goals with a dedication to a wider public trust.

Our businesses have a special, privileged role in society: we try to create the most effective educational services; the most reliable tests of educational achievement; the most independent and authoritative business news and analysis; the most entertaining and informative books. For this kind of company, 'social responsibility' is our core business.

We are very proud that our commitment to corporate responsibility has been recognised year on year by a number of authoritative and independent organisations.
