About our Sustainability Initiatives
Pearson recognizes the environmental challenges facing this planet, and acknowledges our responsibility in making a difference.
This book has been carefully crafted to minimize environmental impact. The binding, cover, and paper come from facilities
that minimize waste, energy consumption, and the use of harmful chemicals. Pearson closes the loop by recycling every out-of-
date text returned to our warehouse.
Along with developing and exploring digital solutions to our market’s needs, Pearson has a strong commitment to achieving
carbon neutrality. As of 2009, Pearson became the first carbon- and climate-neutral publishing company. Since then, Pearson
remains strongly committed to measuring, reducing, and offsetting our carbon footprint.

The future holds great promise for reducing our impact on Earth’s environment, and Pearson is proud to be leading the way.
We strive to publish the best books with the most up-to-date and accurate content, and to do so in ways that minimize our
impact on Earth. To learn more about our initiatives, please visit www.pearson.com/responsibility.
