JOINNow live: Level 3 of the SDG Sustainability Roadmap | Driving targeted action for global impact
STM is proud to announce the launch of Level 3 of its SDG Sustainability Roadmap, a new benchmark for how academic publishers can contribute meaningfully to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Building on the foundations set in Levels 1 & 2, this advanced stage equips organisations with the tools to deliver focused, targeted actions where they count most.
Level 3: Advancing SDGs Together draws on the collective expertise of STM members across the academic publishing landscape. It offers a rich, thoughtfully curated collection of insights, resources, and case studies—demonstrating how a diverse community of publishers can unite around a shared mission: advancing trusted knowledge in service of global progress.
Level 3 features:
- Targeted strategies for advancing key SDG targets, including SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals)
- Real-world case studies that showcase impact and provide replicable models for action
- Practical tools and guidance to translate research into accessible, actionable insights
- Shared best practices for community engagement, policy influence, and sustainability integration
“Level 3 brings focus to the ways publishers can turn intention into impact,” said Leila Jones, COO at STM. “It reflects a collective effort to provide a range of pathways for publishing that support the progress the SDGs call for.”
Aligned with the SDG Publishers Compact, the roadmap continues to build momentum across the industry, helping STM members and the wider publishing community advance sustainable development through shared responsibility and practical leadership.
