EBS in Lesotho Joins the UN SDG Publishers Compact List.

We are proud to announce a significant achievement. Educational Business Services is now listed on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Publisher’s Compact List.

This milestone is a testament to the dedication and work EBS has been doing to enhance education, promote sustainable goals and empower communities in Lesotho.

EBS’s inclusion in the Publishers Compact List brings global recognition to its work. It places EBS alongside other influential organisations. It also places EBS with thought leaders from across the world.

This listing also provides opportunities for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and growth. Which will help EBS to increase its efforts in Lesotho and beyond.

What is the UN SDG Publishers Compact and What does it mean for EBS?

In collaboration with the International Publishers Association (IPA), The UN SDG Publishers Compact is an initiative designed to encourage publishers and publishing associations to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SDG Publishers Compact features 10 action points. It commits publishers and associations to publish books, journals, and products. These publications will enhance the progress of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

The 10 action points publishers should take include:

• Raising awareness and promoting SDGs
• Advocating for themes represented
• Collaborating with other signatories
• Helping to share best practices
• Identifying gaps that still need to be worked on
• Allocating resources and budgets to achieving the goals

By joining the list, EBS aligns itself with a global movement that prioritises sustainability, inequality, and advocates for social harmony.

Over the last 7 years, EBS has focused on books, products, and initiatives. EBS supports: SDG 4: Quality Education. They also support SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, and many others.

Our Plans Moving Forward

Looking ahead EBS is committed to taking steps that will ensure sustainable change, both within Lesotho and in the Southern African region.

Through future initiatives, EBS is looking to collaborate and partner with organisations that will help further its mission to foster innovation, improve literacy, advocate for environmental stewardship and socio-political awareness.

EBS’s international recognition serves as an inspiring example for other businesses and educational institutions to join the global movement and work together to build a future that benefits all.
