We’re honoured to have been shortlisted for the 2021 Independent Publishing Awards, Alison Morrison Diversity Award, which 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 said  'Emerald Publishing is shortlisted for a diversification of its publishing and books on important topics including disability and mental health in the black community'. The judges also liked Emerald’s efforts to cut its gender pay gap, many progressive working policies and measures to reduce unconscious bias in recruitment. 'Emerald’s really embraced diversity and accessibility as a company, from the top down', they said.
