Sustainability at BMJ Group Driving positive environmental and social change
Developing the next generation of talent We hosted nearly 40 Year 10 and Year 12 students for work experience through a school partnership and In2STEM summer programme. One-to-one coaching complemented these placements, helping raise aspirations, strengthen career confidence and support more diverse future talent.
Reducing the footprint of our journals More than 70% of our journals are now published digitally, reflecting our digital first approach and reducing environmental impact. For the limited print that remains, we use only 100% Forest Stewardship Council paper or stock made from Swedish construction timber by-products and forest clearing cuts.
Investing in students’ potential Through our work experience programme, we offer more than 100 students exposure to publishing, healthcare knowledge and professional skills. These opportunities open equitable career pathways, helping young people from diverse backgrounds build confidence, broaden horizons and access roles that reflect their potential.
Upholding the Sustainable Development Goals We advance Sustainable Development Goals 1 (no poverty), 3 (good health), 8 (decent work) and 13 (climate action) across our operations and publications. This work ensures our publishing practices align with international targets to reduce inequality, improve health, protect the planet and promote sustainable growth.
Helping local communities through food donations BMJ Group staff donated 946 kg of food to Euston Foodbank in 2024, with the business contributing £200 per crate. These contributions provided essential resources for vulnerable households and helped build our connection with the local community by addressing immediate needs around food security.
Climate leadership in publishing For nearly 30 years, The BMJ has reported on the health effects of climate change, bringing evidence into policy and clinical practice. More recently, it has published four annual climate issues, spotlighting urgent threats and mobilising health professionals worldwide to act for planetary health.
