Strategy Planning and Delivery
Pearson is an international media company with market-leading businesses in education, business information and consumer publishing. It was one of the original signatories to the UN Global Compact, which commits global companies to standards of behaviour in relation to the environment, labour and human rights.
Corporate Citizenship has worked with Pearson over a number of years to provide both strategic advice and practical support to bring alive those commitments on labour standards, human rights and environment across all of its businesses. We have also assisted Pearson to fulfil its commitments under the UN Global Compact, help them to share those experiences with other signatory companies and analyse environmental, labour standards and human rights surveys.
As a result of our support, Pearson is included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices; is rated as media sector leader with ‘platinum’ status in the BITC Corporate Responsibility Index and has been included in the FTSE4Good indices since inception.
