Mission

Wiley’s mission is to be a global information and education company providing content and services to professionals, researchers, educators, students, lifelong learners, and consumers worldwide. Wiley is dedicated to serving our customers’ needs while generating attractive intellectual and financial rewards for all our stakeholders — authors, customers, clients, colleagues, and shareholders.

Values

Founded in 1807, during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, Wiley has evolved into one of the world’s most respected publishing companies. We strongly believe in the enduring value of collaborative relationships, built on a solid foundation of trust and integrity. We strive to be the very best at all that we do, which strengthens our competitive position and results in consistently strong performance.

Wiley’s strength is based on the efforts and accomplishments of a diverse group of people who are distinguished by their integrity, creativity, talent, initiative, and dedication.

  • We are responsible to our customers, who rely on the quality of our products and services to meet their needs. Service must be prompt and efficient, and prices should be reasonable.
  • We are responsible to our authors and partners, who collaborate with us to create high-quality products and services, and who deserve appropriate recognition and compensation for their efforts.
  • We are responsible to our colleagues, whom we respect as human beings first, professionals second. We must provide a reasonable sense of security, pleasant and safe working conditions, fair compensation and benefit programs, and opportunities for professional growth.
  • We are responsible to our shareholders, who should realize a fair return on their investments. Investors can rely on a highly capable leadership team and an independent Board of Directors distinguished by their commitment to effective governance, ethical behavior, and integrity in all that we do.
  • We are responsible to the communities in which we work. These communities should benefit from our good citizenship, including our support of educational and cultural organizations.
