High Purpose
Our rich history makes us storytellers, but our far-reaching impact on millions of lives makes us story-changers. It is through learning that people create a better world—and we spread learning. This is our High Purpose.

High Performance
When our people and customers are highly performing, we succeed as a company. We are able to create better products and ultimately have a bigger impact on society. This is our Double Bottom Line.

What We Value
Our values outline how we achieve our High Purpose and High Performance. These values represent the best of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we strive to be. They guide the way we make decisions, collaborate, and grow as individuals and as a company.
Our Values
Trust
Trust is our foundation. It grows from clarity, consistency, and character.
Justice
We embrace diversity and equity. We strive for justice to transform lives.
Learning
We support every new generation by learning and growing with them.
Innovation
We imagine what is possible and implement it without fear of failure.
Courage

Ownership
We take ownership because our work is greater than our individual achievements.
I have been proud to work for HMH for the past 20 years, and grow even more proud every day as we evolve our understanding of what it means to grow in diversity, deliver on a commitment to equity, and create environments that are truly inclusive.
