Today, Sage releases its annual Independence with Impact Report highlighting achievements from 2024. For 60 years, Sage has published resources that advance disciplines, cultivate critical thinking skills in the classroom, and drive social change inside and outside of our organization. This year’s report reflects the progress the company made enabling academic impact; increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion; advancing sustainability; promoting academic freedom; safeguarding research integrity; and supporting new ways of learning.
The report reflects the company’s firm commitment to developing and widely disseminating high-quality research and resources from diverse perspectives on an array of topics that impact humanity. "The core values that guide our business activities now are the same that have shaped our company since its founding in 1965,” says Blaise Simqu, Sage CEO. “In our current era of misinformation, the need to develop media literacy and critical thinking and support academic freedom is greater now than ever."
Highlights include:
“Looking back at our 2024 milestones, we recognize that our independence as a publisher paved the way for these achievements — developing resources that foster sharper thinking skills in students, forging meaningful relationships with partners who share our values, publishing social science that creates a more inclusive and equitable society,” reflects Blaise Simqu. “This work starts from the inside out by operating mindfully and efficiently and making sure our workplaces are environments where people of all backgrounds belong and can thrive, and they represent incredible work from our talented staff. I am proud of what where we stand at the end of our first 60 years and look forward to the next 60 and beyond.”
