Our Core Values
Quarto’s core values, which shape our business, are generated by the staff and reviewed and updated annually to ensure that they are front of mind and heart and genuinely embedded in everything we do. Our core values are: GLOBAL, EQUITABLE, RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE.
GLOBAL
Creating locally in the UK and US, we publish with a truly global mindset, and seek to represent the diversity of ideas, innovation and creativity from around the world.
EQUITABLE
We strive to create the space for everyone to do their best work and aim to fill that space with people from a wide range of backgrounds to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment, both internally and with our external collaborators. We trust each other and facilitate a collaborative and respectful culture where every voice is heard, and we grow together along the way.
RESPONSIVE
We react and respond to an ever-changing market – innovating and taking calculated risks with permission to fail – to deliver the right products for our customers, readers and creators with best-in-class service.
RESPONSIBLE
We publish with integrity and create books that we believe in, with the intent to enrich, never harm. We seek to reduce our impact on the planet and support social and environmental initiatives that align with our values.
Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Quarto is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We condemn systemic racism in society in all its forms. The Quarto Group is an equal opportunities employer. We believe that employing a diverse workforce is an important factor in success and make recruiting decisions based on applicants' experience and skills. We welcome applications from all members of society irrespective of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief.
We are monitoring the diversity of our staff and published authors against the National Census annually and providing staff with unconscious bias and inclusion training to promote diversity. We are also committed to finding ways to improve our industry's practices.
Quarto denounces any and all forms of hate, discrimination, and oppression and does not condone the use of its products in any practices aimed at harming or demeaning any group or individual.
