Pen2Print Publications is proud to stand alongside global publishers as part of the SDG Publishers Compact, an initiative of the United Nations and the International Publishers Association (IPA) that seeks to mobilize the publishing industry in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
For Pen2Print, this affiliation reflects more than a symbolic gesture — it represents a commitment to purposeful publishing, where knowledge becomes a driver of sustainability, inclusion, and global progress. By integrating the values of the SDGs into its publishing vision, Pen2Print aims to transform ideas into impact and empower communities through education, awareness, and innovation.
Championing Knowledge for Sustainability
Pen2Print has long believed that books and research have the power to change the world. Through open-access publications, eBooks, academic journals, and professional training materials, the organization promotes the exchange of ideas that address some of the most urgent challenges of our time — from climate change and poverty to gender equality and innovation in education.
As part of the SDG Publishers Compact, Pen2Print seeks to ensure that every publication contributes meaningfully to one or more of the 17 Global Goals, supporting the creation of knowledge that not only informs but also inspires action.
Commitment to the SDG Principles
In alignment with the Compact’s objectives, Pen2Print is committed to:
-
Integrating the SDGs into its editorial and operational framework.
-
Encouraging authors and editors to engage with sustainability, equality, and global development themes.
-
Raising awareness of the SDGs among readers, contributors, and partner institutions.
-
Collaborating internationally to share best practices, innovative ideas, and responsible publishing models.
-
Reporting progress annually to demonstrate impact and accountability.
This commitment reflects Pen2Print’s belief that the publishing industry must play an active role in shaping a more just, informed, and sustainable future.
Connecting People, Ideas, and Action
Pen2Print’s vision goes beyond producing books — it’s about building a culture of learning and responsibility. The organization works closely with authors, researchers, and institutions to amplify content that supports the UN’s 2030 Agenda. Its digital-first approach enables the dissemination of research to global audiences, fostering collaboration across countries and disciplines.
Through its platforms, Pen2Print also promotes accessible education and open knowledge sharing, ensuring that learning materials reach those who need them most. This reflects the essence of SDG 4 (Quality Education) and supports broader goals like Gender Equality (SDG 5), Sustainable Cities (SDG 11), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
A Platform for Change
Pen2Print envisions publishing as a platform for global dialogue and collective action. It is committed to reducing inequalities in knowledge dissemination, supporting sustainability-driven research, and nurturing the next generation of thinkers and changemakers.
Every project undertaken — whether a journal issue, an edited volume, or an open-access eBook — is viewed as an opportunity to reinforce the values of responsibility, inclusion, and sustainability.
Conclusion
By aligning with the SDG Publishers Compact, Pen2Print Publications joins a growing international community dedicated to using the power of publishing to build a better world. The organization’s mission — to educate, inspire, and empower — is deeply rooted in the belief that sustainable development begins with knowledge and that every publication can make a difference.
