Black Lives Matter: our commitment
A statement from the Board of Emerald Publishing
The team at Emerald have been taking some time to reflect on recent events and our response. We believe that Black lives matter, today and every day, and that injustice and intolerance must end.
We are horrified not only by George Floyd’s unjust death, but also Ahmaud Arbery, Amadou Diallo, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Stephen Lawrence, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, and many others who have lost their lives as a result of racism. We stand in solidarity with everyone fighting for racial justice around the world, and with our colleagues and customers who are experiencing pain and grief now, and in the past.
COVID-19: we're here to help
We are living in a difficult and uncertain time around the world, as we face the spread of COVID-19. I’m writing to let you know what we’re doing at Emerald to keep our customers, colleagues and communities safe and supported as much as we can.
The physical and mental health and well-being of everyone is our top priority, as we aim to operate as normally as possible.
Although our physical offices may be closed for now, we are very much open. Now, more than ever, people need quick and easy online access to the information we publish on Emerald Insight and the opportunities to share their research. We are a digital-first, open publisher and will continue to be available for you throughout this public health crisis.

The global inclusivity report 2020
