KnE Publishing signed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Publishers Compact and is proud to be among the first institutions in the Middle East to sign – supporting a more sustainable future. Committed to the SDGs, KnE Publishing hopes to find new ways to promote the global initiative’s 17 themes and spread information about their significance through its publications.
The SDGs, which were unanimously adopted by the 193 United Nations member states in 2015, call for improving the lives of individuals everywhere through eradicating hunger, poverty, and gender inequality while protecting the planet. The SDG Publishers Compact includes a list of ten approaches that publishers can adopt to contribute to achieving the SDGs during the decade of action (2020 – 2030).
Emily Choynowski, Head of KnE Publishing, remarked, “Raising awareness about inclusion, quality education, health and well-being, gender equality, climate action and other SDG themes has always been a priority for KnE Publishing. We look forward to intensifying our efforts to address the pressing issues of our time. By advocating for the SDG themes through our publications, collaborations, and operations, we hope to inform and inspire action towards more sustainable practices – and ultimately, a more sustainable world”.

About the SDG Publishers Compact
The SDG Publishers Compact is a voluntary commitment that recognizes the responsibility of the publishing industry to create a sustainable future through action. Signatories aspire to develop sustainable practices and act as champions of the SDGs during the Decade of Action (2020-2030), publishing books and journals that will help inform, develop and inspire action in that direction. This compact follows other compacts for the Media sector and businesses in general.
