Get to Know Us Again — our values & mission

Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. is a global educational publisher with products that promote knowledge and learning. We provide timely relevant, and trustworthy information and instructional products, which are widely used in schools, universities, homes, libraries, and workplaces globally.

In a world where questionable information is rampant, we provide products that inspire confidence, with content people can trust. It has constantly been our effort to establish a legacy of trust and dependency since 1768 , and we will continue to do so, by collaborating with experts, scholars, educators, instructional designers, and user—experience specialists. Moreover, to ensure that the quality of our books is never compromised we subject the work of the experts to rigorous multi-layered editorial review.

We strongly involve ourselves with schools, parents and educators, designing products for the 21st-century classroom and today’s home learning environments. We’re a pioneer in digital education, and our products are marked by engaging and trustworthy content.

Many people know and remember us as the publisher of those big multi-volume encyclopaedias that have been a source of joy and learning since 1768. Today those encyclopedias are chiefly found in a multitude of digital forms that are updated daily.

But we do a lot more today. We’ve changed and expanded.

In sync with the digital revolution, Britannica is now online—in the form of e-books and on mobile devices as well. From the 2nd-grader who wants to learn maths to teachers explaining the laws of gravity, to the lifelong learner trying to understand the latest political crisis, Britannica is for everyone!
