Sustainability

IGI Global understands the impact that practicing responsible business can have on the environment, marketplace, and community. It maintains a sustainable, transparent business by utilizing the following practices:

Offers Electronic Format

In an effort to reduce the amount of waste generated daily, IGI Global is a strong advocate of the electronic format. Each title published is offered in electronic format and is able to be purchased individually for the same price as the hardcover format. Complimentary copies for contributors to IGI Global titles are provided electronically.

IGI Global is also a leader of the print to electronic conversion movement and partners with libraries in order to convert their print IGI Global titles to their electronic counterparts. This procedure not only frees space within the library, but also ensures that moving forward, the library will purchase electronically. IGI Global continues to identify programs such as this that make converting to electronic copies easy, affordable, and efficient.

Print On Demand

Due to the amount of waste created from printing based on anticipated demand, IGI Global utilizes the Print On Demand (POD) model. This model allows titles to be printed upon request in response to actual demand from a customer, thereby eliminating the need to stock high volumes of product within the warehouse.

Publish in Environment, Agriculture, and Physical Sciences

IGI Global publishes forward-thinking research within the fields of Environmental, Agricultural, and Physical Sciences to enable the successful stabilization of the environment and its inhabitants. By disseminating the newest technologies, breakthroughs, discoveries, and theories researched by experts looking to improve and sustain the environment, IGI Global helps provide solutions that address key issues such as climate change, pollution, and natural resource depletion.
