Wolters Kluwer’s greatest role in society is that of a provider of high quality information, tools, and solutions for the professionals it serves. It is in this way that Wolters Kluwer most strongly interacts with society, but we also have other roles, such as employer, contributor to economic health, and global corporate operator.

Sustainable Growth
For Wolters Kluwer, the goal of sustainable entrepreneurship is to consistently strike the optimal balance between all of these roles in both the short and longer term. Ensuring that our actions today also support future growth is key to sustainable development.

Sustainable Entrepreneurship
Wolters Kluwer is conscious of its primary duty to maintain the high quality of its information solutions, and the opportunities it has as a market-leader to both raise industry standards and support the professional in his or her workflow. Sustainable entrepreneurship is increasingly important to Wolters Kluwer’s strategy. Our strong brands stand for valuable products and services that are essential tools in the fields of health, tax, accounting, corporate services, financial services,  law, and regulation. Click here for some best practices examples of sustainability at Wolters Kluwer.

Responsibility to stakeholders
In its role as information provider, Wolters Kluwer is determined to make sure that its expertise and resources continue to be put to good use for the benefit of its stakeholders, including the countries and communities in which it operates. In order to meet our responsibilities, it is important that we know and understand our stakeholders.

Value creation
As a leading provider of information services, our first and foremost responsibility is to provide high quality content solutions that meet the needs of our customers. But we also have the responsibility to be as efficient and responsible as possible in our use of the resources necessary to the creation of our products and services.

In 2006, Wolters Kluwer streamlined its community involvement and charitable initiatives to focus on two core themes which are central to Wolters Kluwer's value creation: knowledge-sharing and health. We concentrate our efforts on areas where we can make the biggest difference, by linking our local social initiatives to the business strategy and creating value across operating units through shared ideas an initiatives.
