Emerald Publishing shortlisted for the Independent Publishers Guild Alison Morrison Diversity Award for second year

5th April 2022

We are honoured to be shortlisted for the 2022 Independent Publishers Awards, Alison Morrison Diversity Award, for the second year running.

The award recognises efforts being made to make our industry more diverse and inclusive, both internally and through the content that is published.

The Independent Publishers Guild commended us on "always prioritising diversity in its HR practices and research output alike. In 2021 Emerald reinforced its work with a new inter-disciplinary books editor role, and gathered extensive data and feedback on its recruitment and working practices." The judges also liked how diversity is embedded into the culture at Emerald, commenting: "Diversity and inclusivity are driven from the top down at Emerald – they take it very seriously and are implementing the right tools to make a difference."

We were highly commended by the Independent Publishers Guild for the 2021 Alison Morrison Diversity Award and won the 'SME Strategy' category at the Inside Out Mental Health Awards for our efforts to prioritise and bring more awareness to mental health at work and break down stigma.
