Together, we can directly contribute to achieving global sustainability and equity.

The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. More important than ever, the goals provide a critical framework for COVID-19 recovery. 

By fostering inclusivity, equity, and sustainability within the scholarly publishing ecosystem, STM supports the development and dissemination of research that addresses critical issues such as poverty, health, and environmental protection. Through collaboration and innovation, STM and its members champion the SDGs, ensuring that research plays a vital role in building a sustainable and equitable future for all.

Our social responsibility efforts focus on uniting the STM community to identify meaningful ways we can collaborate and drive real, lasting change.
