Formally adopted in 2015, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are fast approaching their 2030 end date. To recruit the publishing industry, the UN introduced the SDG Publishers Compact in 2020, an open agreement that encourages stakeholders to adopt sustainable business strategies and publish content in support of the goals. In this four-part series, we discuss the publishing industry’s contributions to the SDGs, and how Springer Nature became a key advocate, choosing to align its editorial strategy, business outlook, and internal organization with the goals.
In the first episode of this series, Ritu Dhand chats about her role at Springer Nature as Chief Scientific Officer, sharing her work in supporting the editors of Springer Nature’s portfolio of more than 3,000 journals. She then provides a refresher on how the SDGs originated and the objectives of the SDG Publishers Compact. In addition, Ritu discusses the key collaborators who are advancing Springer Nature’s SDG work internally and the scale at which its publishing operation supports the effort.
