FAQs

Advancing accessibility and sustainability is central to how Taylor & Francis partners with societies. This page outlines our approach to inclusive, WCAG‑aligned formats and reader experiences; practical steps to improve discoverability and usability for all; and responsible, lower‑impact publishing—from digital‑first workflows to thoughtful print and supply‑chain choices. Explore how we help you meet compliance expectations, broaden reach, and reduce environmental impact without compromising quality or editorial independence.

Sustainability

Our sustainability program contains ambitious commitments to embed sustainability into everything we do – and help our customers do the same.

Our Progress so far:

  • We are certified CarbonNeutral® across our business operations

  • Last year we connected over 36,000 disadvantaged individuals with accessible content, training, and publishing services

  • Our increased use of Print on Demand has helped us reduce our recent book returns by 40%. Simultaneously our need to pulp excess or damaged stock has decreased by 50%, resulting in a 30% reduction in our supply chain emissions

  • We are the third largest publisher of content linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

  • 2 week for author revision

  • We recently switched all our UK print journals packaging to new responsibly sourced paperwrap technology, helping us continue to reduce single use plastics

Accessibility

Taylor & Francis is committed to ensuring all our products, platforms and websites are “born accessible” – meaning new content is accessible from its creation. We want the world’s 1 billion people with disabilities to be able to access our content equally to the rest of the global population.

Accessibility benefits everyone. It enables people with all types of needs and abilities and is useful for ageing populations and foreign language speakers. We are continually improving the quality and accessibility of our content, to address the needs of all customers, and support them to reach their highest potential.

Our Accessibility in numbers:

  • 100% of our journals are now published in HTML, PDF and EPUB – the most accessible format

  • 175,000 of our eBooks are published in PDF and EPUB

  • Over 1 million articles contain some level of alt-text

  • 7,300 eBooks have been published with alt-text, and hundreds more are in production as of August 2024. Long descriptions are supplied where necessary, for more complex images
