Our Employees
Macmillan is gratified to have so many talented and intellectually curious employees working to help our company succeed and become more sustainable.
Macmillan asks our employees for help as part of our overall sustainability strategy. Countless employees have shared their suggestions and passions to help the company reduce its overall environmental impacts. Many of these ideas have been implemented while many more are in development. We are so grateful for such a passionate team and look forward to our shared progress!
Employee Suggestions
A “Sustainability Incentive” is offered to employees from time to time. Employees elect to receive a financial contribution towards a pledge of a personal investment in reducing their carbon footprint. Insulation for leaky windows and doors, and smart thermostats are all examples of investments. Over the last few years, Macmillan USA distributed over 4000 complimentary LED light bulbs to employees.
Sustainability Incentive
Macmillan provides New York City and Boston employees with the option to purchse a discounted CitiBike membership. This benefit is offered to encourage sustainable travel habits and reduce employee emissions from commuting. We encourage all employees to utilize this membership when traveling around the city for leisure

Volunteering in NYC
For Earth Day 2024, our ESG team led a volunteer session with the Central Park Conservancy. Macmillan employees worked with the Conservancy on a pathway clearing project in the Ramble, a dense woodland ecosystem in the park, home to a diverse group of animals, plants and birds. Our ESG team will continue to engage with New York based environmental organizations to support local environmental efforts.
Business Travel
Macmillan’s business travel emissions in 2022 rose to their highest level since 2019. We continues to explore ways to reduce emissions and increase employee awareness when it comes to travel impacts. For employee travel to meetings and conferences, we prompt our employees to take the train for shorter domestic trips or direct flights for long-distance traveling. Additionally, we promote carpooling amongst our employees and with our hotel-partners to get to and from airports.
