| New Society Publishers 2021 Year in Review and Corporate Social Responsibility Report
Letter from Our Publisher
During 2021 we faced ongoing pandemic challenges, continued global political unrest, deeper exposure of systemic racism, the eye-opening effects of climate change, and an awareness of the extensive mental health issues we are all facing. It was an unprecedented year for us all, but I’m exceptionally proud of, and humbled by, the fact that New Society Publishers and our employee-owners were able to support our author and publishing program while strengthening our commitment to social and environmental justice.
Within New Society Publishers we are deepening our understanding of our privilege as individuals and as an organization, and how important our role is in supporting justice, reconciliation, and decolonization. As a result, we have been working diligently on our strategic goals of being a leader on social justice within our areas of influence and continuing to develop a business model that supports social and racial justice, while growing and diversifying our circle of collaborators.
We have solidified and codified our commitment in our Statement of Ethics, and we continue to weave all aspects of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion work into our publishing program.
As a solutions-based publisher, we find strength in these hard times in the knowledge that there is so much more work to be done, and the only way to a healthy, just world is to build it together. Our team’s efforts are inspiring for me, and I invite you to browse through this document to learn more about the work being done at New Society Publishers.

A Profound Vision for Uncertain Times
A landmark global analysis by an international team of scientists and economists warns of rising social tensions and sets out survival pathways for humanity.
Ahead of significant political events such as UNGA and COP 27, Earth4All is launching Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity, which presents the results of a two-year research project that brought together leading scientists, economic thinkers, and a team of "systems dynamics" computer modelers.
It lays out what economic systems change really means for civilization and proposes five extraordinary turnarounds that provide a framework for a fair, just, and affordable economic transformation. The book tackles the fierce debate between advocates for “green growth” and supporters of “degrowth” economies.
Earth4All is launching a public campaign, hosting a series of events and citizen assemblies throughout 2022 and 2023 to bring together everyday people to devise recommendations to governments on the best way forward to make societies more equal and less polarized.
