MEXICO CITY (2024)

Penguin Random House held “Pride in Your Writings,” a forum for inclusive representation in literature, on March 23. Organized by our Mexico office’s LGBTQ+ subcommittee, the event featured Penguin Random House authors and several drag storytellers. Speakers addressed a variety of topics, including the following: the experiences of authors with diverse realities, ways to support LGBTQ+ people with disabilities, representation of the LGBTQ+ community in narratives, lesbian stories beyond stereotypes, and queer stories more broadly.

Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial employees and authors—alongside media personnel and influencers—volunteered with Reforestamos México in July to reforest 1.5 hectares of forest located approximately 150 kilometers outside of Mexico City. Together, 120 volunteers planted 1,200 trees, and members of the local community, with funds from Reforestamos México, supported our volunteers with a prepared meal.  

MEXICO (2024)

In a move to replace our current stock of wooden pallets, Penguin Random House has purchased 8,295 recycled plastic pallets for our Mexico distribution center since 2023. Wooden pallets have a lifespan of 3 months, which is almost considered single-use, and for every 10 wooden pallets made, one tree with a lifespan of 10-15 years is cut down. Our recycled plastic pallets, in contrast, have a lifespan of 8-10 years.
