Corporate social responsibility

At PDP, we take our Corporate Social Responsibility seriously.

For our journals, we offer an 'environment friendly' subscription, which is the electronic version of the journals without the accompanying hard copy.

We have substantially restricted the growth of our paper-based marketing and increased marketing by email.

We require staff to turn off computers when they leave the office, and all office lighting and heating is shut down at night.

We recycle the majority of our paper waste.

We make regular monthly donations to Friends of the Earth.
