HOBOKEN, N.J. - Thursday, November 12, 2026 - Wiley (NYSE: WLY), a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence for the advancement of scientific discovery, innovation, and learning, today released its FY26 Sustainability Annual Report.
"Sustainability is about stewardship. Every generation inherits both responsibilities and opportunities. Ours is to protect the integrity of knowledge, support the people who create it, and make sure innovation adds up to a future that's both prosperous and sustainable," said Wiley President and CEO Matthew Kissner.
Key highlights from FY26 include:
Progress on sustainability commitments: Since FY20, Wiley has reduced its total greenhouse gas emissions by 28%, while improving the data, controls, and governance behind its climate program. The company also achieved limited assurance over its FY26 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Responsible AI initiatives: Wiley was the first and only publisher to sponsor the United Nations' AI for Good Global Summit, joining governments and technologists to shape how AI serves people and the planet. The company also launched a Responsible AI learning program for colleagues and updated its AI Principles to recognize accountability to the planet alongside accountability to people.
Trusted knowledge in AI tools: Wiley integrated Imagetwin's image-screening technology into its existing suite of research integrity tools. The company also launched Scholar Gateway, making scholarly content discoverable through tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Mistral Vibe; and partnered with OpenEvidence, one of the most widely used medical AI platforms in the world, to deliver trusted research to physicians at the point of care.
Open and equitable access to research: Wiley supported more than 125 transformational agreements globally, helping drive open access publishing, with additional Wiley Open Access Accounts covering 3,300+ institutions. Through Research4Life, 4,262 articles from authors in lower-income countries were published with full fee waivers.
Global goals: In total, Wiley has published more than one million articles and reviews related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing actionable insight to build a responsible future, including over 96,000 articles published in 2025, up 24% from the prior year. This novel research ranges from annual US cancer statistics and associations between prescribed drugs and dementia risk to studies showing that global warming has accelerated significantly, and that its effects are changing animal behavior.
In addition, Wiley is planting 70,015 trees to restore forests in regions connected to its paper supply chain, achieved through a partnership with veritree. These collective efforts have earned Wiley recognition from Newsweek, USA Today, and TIME this year, including placement on America's Greenest Companies 2026 and America's Climate Leaders 2026.
"Knowledge builds a brighter future," said Bill Deluise, Wiley VP, Communications & Corporate Impact. "By helping transform research, data, and expertise into actionable intelligence, Wiley enables better decisions, accelerates progress, creates lasting impact, and helps to solve some of the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges."
