Anthem and the Community

At Anthem, we recognise our responsibility to operate sustainably, ethically, and with a positive impact on society. As part of this, we’re committed to minimising our environmental footprint, fostering diversity and inclusion, and supporting our local communities.

Sustainability & Environmental Responsibility

We’re dedicated to reducing our environmental impact by sourcing paper from FSC-certified and sustainably managed forests.

In 2024, by using Carbon Balanced Paper, Anthem balanced the equivalent of 514,942kg of Co2 through World Land Trust. This support will enable World Land Trust to protect 98,354m2 of critically threatened tropical forest.

Diversity, Equality & Inclusion

We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where all employees feel valued and respected, supported by our DEI (Diversity, equality, and inclusion) policies.

We actively promote equal opportunities in hiring, career development and leadership, ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities we serve.

Additionally, we champion freelance contributors from underrepresented backgrounds in order to help to amplify diverse voices in publishing.

Workplace & Employee Wellbeing

We are committed to promoting employee health, safety and work/life balance initiatives, as well as offering many employee benefits, including healthcare and EAP.

Social Impact & Community Engagement

Our current charity partner is Bath Mind, which is a cause that means a lot to us.

Through a combination of fundraising events and donations of 15p per copy sold on the newsstand throughout the month of October, we’ve donated over £34,000 to the charity. This has helped to fund local wellbeing group sessions, counselling sessions and befriending support calls.

Some of our previous charity partners have included British Red Cross, Trussell Trust and Bath City FC Foundation.

Our Commitment

We continuously evaluate and improve our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives to ensure our practices align with our values and make a meaningful impact.

Through responsible publishing, sustainable operations, and community engagement, we aim to contribute to a better future for both people and the planet.
