Sustainability
IMPACT: the Mediahuis sustainability pathway
Mediahuis is making good progress on sustainability. We see it as our responsibility to align our social, ecological and financial goals, and to ensure the success of our organisation in a responsible and sustainable way. Our IMPACT programme has three focus areas: journalism that matters, unlocking talent and the green transition.
IMPACT: make a difference
Journalism that matters
Mediahuis wants its journalism to have a positive impact on people and society. Millions of people seek out our journalism every day, in search of information, insight and inspiration. At a time when fake news is everywhere, independent, pluralistic journalism is more important than ever. We at Mediahuis believe that unconditionally and will continue to invest in achieving it, not only within our own media but via the investment fund Pluralis in European countries where independent media are at risk.
Unlocking talent
It’s important to us that our staff can function well and feel good, so their talent can truly shine. Their development and vitality are central to that, alongside increasing the diversity in our organisation so we can grow to be a more diverse and inclusive employer.
Green transition
Mediahuis’s ecological footprint is under scrutiny. By 2030, we want to reduce our CO2 emissions by more than 50%. To do so, we are taking a critical look at the printing and distribution of our newspapers, the energy-efficiency of our offices and the composition of our car fleet. Our green transition is a task for us all. We have committed to science-based targets to help us achieve these goals.
