HMH® is a purpose-driven organization, dedicated to uplifting educators and students. Our commitment to caring for the environment, fostering employee growth, and supporting communities and schools guides the work we do every day.
Environmental
Our Sustainability Commitments
As a company focused on creating a better world for all children, we feel it’s our obligation to make environmentally responsible choices. We are expanding our sustainability program to meet the challenges of today’s world.
Responsible Paper Practices
Responsibly sourcing, using, and disposing of the paper in our products is key to our sustainability efforts. Our Paper Sourcing and Usage Policy reflects our renewed goals and commitments for 2023–2024, building on the incredible progress made under our prior policy (2019–2022).
Social
Employee Engagement
HMH believes high performance starts with our people. We remain focused on an equation for success that’s grounded in our mission and values: Employee Success + Customer Success = Company Success. We seek to promote a company culture where all team members feel included, valued, and highly engaged in the work that they do.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We cultivate an employee community, a company culture, and a business strategy that reflect the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of HMH team members and the students and educators we serve. We embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion in our actions and products.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We are committed to giving back to communities around the world. HMH employees support hundreds of nonprofit organizations each year through giving and volunteering. HMH’s matching gift program, paid time off for volunteering, and annual Volunteer Week enable employees to amplify their impact with causes they are passionate about.
