From Our CEO
"The very ethos - from which Mercier Publications was conceived and by which it operates - is to promulgate information into the public domain that assists readers to optimise their self-actualisation, so as to be the best that they can be. Hitherto, Mercier Publications is exclusively concerned with the provision of published works within the field of personal development and self-improvement, and it is endeavoured that our readers will translate this information into knowledge that will enrich their lives.
"Thus, the rationale behind that which we, at Mercier Publications, espouse is best summarised by the Latin maxim: crescat scientia, vita excolatur (translation: 'Where knowledge increases, life is enriched').
"May you find within our publications knowledge that enriches your life."

Mercier Publications is committed to be a corporate citizen, whose practices are good for our communities, environment, employees, associates, affiliates and business.
Our corporate responsibility objectives include:
-
Our Environment: To lead as an accountable corporation, working with our customers and suppliers to minimise our company’s impact on the environment.
-
Our Communities: To be a positive influence in the communities in which we work and live.
-
Our Workplace: To maintain a professionally challenging, rewarding, respectful and safe workplace for all of our employees, associates and business partners.
The community that is Mercier Publications comprises exceptional people who share similar values.

We aim every day to do what is right, what is best and what is fair and equitable in delivering value to our clients and maintaining a strong and viable business.
Environmental Sustainability
As one of the world’s most progressive publishing houses, Mercier Publications strives to operate globally as an environmentally accountable organisation by:
-
Minimising our corporation’s impact on the environment.
-
Working with our affiliates and customers to increase the utilisation of green technology.
-
Collaborating with and supporting the sustainability efforts of our associates, affiliates and business partners.
Mercier Publications manages its operations and business activities so as to minimise its impact on the environment and the communities in which we operate. As a corporate citizen, we do our best to continuously improve our environmental management efforts, which we recognise can only be achieved through regular monitoring of our performance against stewardship objectives.
With environmental accountability focus, we identify and proactively address risks of pollution arising from our activities, products or services in order to effectively control and reduce our carbon footprint. In so doing, we continuously work in reducing waste to the lowest possible level, ensuring responsible disposal.
We advocate employee involvement in environmental matters, providing suitable training and support to employees with regard to our global stewardship.
We continue to inform others of our environmental commitments, including companies with whom we associate and affiliate. We undertake an annual review of this commitment in the light of any new knowledge, changing legislation or public concerns, so as to continuously improve our environmental accountability focus.
