, Hemant's Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Pearson is dedicated to creating bias-free content that reflects the diversity of all
learners. We embrace the many dimensions of diversity, including but not limited
to race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, ability, age, sexual orientation, and
religious or political beliefs.
Education is a powerful force for equity and change in our world. It has the potential
to deliver opportunities that improve lives and enable economic mobility. As we work
with authors to create content for every product and service, we acknowledge our
responsibility to demonstrate inclusivity and incorporate diverse scholarship so that
everyone can achieve their potential through learning. As the world’s leading learn-
ing company, we have a duty to help drive change and live up to our purpose to help
more people create a better life for themselves and to create a better world.
Our ambition is to purposefully contribute to a world where:
■ Everyone has an equitable and lifelong opportunity to succeed through learning.
■ Our educational products and services are inclusive and represent the rich
diversity of learners.
■ Our educational content accurately reflects the histories and experiences of the
learners we serve.
■ Our educational content prompts deeper discussions with learners and moti-
vates them to expand their own learning (and worldview).
While we work hard to present unbiased content, we want to hear from you about
any concerns or needs with this Hemant's product so that we can investigate and
address them.
