Penguin Random House
Black Lives Matter. Black Voices Matter. Black Stories Matter.
As Penguin Random House, we recognize that our company and our industry can and must do better.
We have taken the past week to reflect and listen, and to further identify how we can impact meaningful and lasting change in our company and in our society.
Here is our plan of action:
Donation & Support
We are increasing our annual donation to We Need Diverse Books and expanding our partnership with them to become an inaugural sponsor of the Black Creatives Fund, which will focus on encouraging and amplifying the work of Black creatives in order to bring more Black voices and stories to the world. The program will include education and resources, mentorship through direct access to published authors, and financial support through grants for each mentee in the program.
Diversity & Representation
We will increase the number of books we publish—and promote, market, and sell—by people of color. To start, we commit to auditing our publishing programs to determine how many books we currently publish by people of color, and we will communicate those results. This will allow us to set benchmarks to help us track and achieve this goal.
We will also need to make our community of employees as diverse as the community of readers we reach and wish to connect with. We will share the statistics related to our current workforce demographics with our employees and communicate clear goals for increasing our diversity from entry level to executive team.
Increased Leadership Investment in Diversity & Inclusion
As a step beyond the Unconscious Bias training already undertaken by much of our company, we will make antiracism training mandatory for all employees.
Career Growth and Psychological Safety and Belonging
Representation should extend to all levels of our business, and we are committed to creating a more inclusive leadership team.
Diversity & Inclusion will become a key component of our performance review processes, to ensure that all managers are being held accountable for the work they do toward making our company a truly inclusive place to work.
Penguin Random House is committed to driving lasting change in our company, our industry, and our world. These initiatives are works in progress—we are working to set specific targets, and will share them with you in the coming months.
