Our Purpose and Promise

What we do and what we stand for

Our Purpose

We are PLS and we believe in the value of knowledge, creativity, and the importance of sharing ideas.

We believe that publishers play a vital role in unlocking creativity and advancing knowledge and ideas.

We believe that copyright is empowering and incentivises the creation and the sharing of that knowledge.

Our purpose is to support publishers through effective licensing and protecting copyright – enabling access to knowledge and creativity.

Our Promise

We are PLS and we believe in the value of knowledge, creativity, and the importance of sharing ideas.

We will do this by being proud champions of copyright, maximising the value of published content through effective licensing solutions, and providing publishers with a professional, customer-focused and responsive service.

We will provide the industry with direction, guidance, and insight – from promoting rights management best practice to improving knowledge of licensing and permissions; from seeking innovative licensing opportunities to promoting and advocating for a strong copyright framework.

We will put publishers at the heart of all that we do.
