the latest insights so that together we can improve and enrich lives and help to protect our planet for future generations. We believe that DEI are essential to achieving this mission. </p><p>We commit to championing DEI in the communities we serve, using our networks and brands.

Networks </h3><p>Our employee networks unite colleagues who share an identity with those who support them and who want to learn more about their perspectives and experiences. The networks — with more than 1,400 members — focus on building connections between colleagues, raising awareness on important topics, consulting on business initiatives and advocating for their communities at Springer Nature and beyond. In 2021, our networks organised over 50 events and shared over 75 blog posts.</p><p>We support network projects and events with a robust governance structure, sponsorship by senior leaders and advice and resources from the DEI team.
