Policies

Bonnier Books and our businesses are guided by the policies and guidelines issued by the Bonnier Group, as well as some Bonnier Books specific policies.

The policies include Bonnier Group’s Whistle Blowing Policy and Bonnier Books’ Code of Business Ethics, among others. We employ The Book Chain Project’s Supplier Code of Conduct. For matters pertinent to privacy, Bonnier Group’s Privacy Policy is employed. The businesses also develop local policies depending on their needs.

Whistleblower

Bonnier Books’ and Bonnier Group’s reputation and how we behave constitute some of our most valuable assets. At the Bonnier Group and its companies, employees are expected not just to abide by the rules but also to point out when others do not.

When rules or laws are broken, you should report that to an immediate superior or another manager you trust in the same organisation.

If this is not possible or would lead to unwanted consequences, you may provide the information to the Bonnier Groups Whistleblowing Channel, which an external partner handles.

Our AI Approach

At Bonnier Books, we recognise and closely monitor the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI brings numerous opportunities, it also presents risks and uncertainties. Our goal is to enhance our understanding of AI and explore how it can support and facilitate parts of our work, making us a better partner for our stakeholders. Our approach to AI is outlined below.

Transparency

We strive for transparent AI usage. It should be clear to readers, listeners, creators, and partners if generative AI tools have been used.

Copyright

We are committed to protecting copyright and ensuring that our publications are not used for training of AI models.

Ethical Considerations

We prioritise using AI in a manner that respects the rights of authors, creators, readers, listeners, and publishers, while maintaining Bonnier Books’ quality standards. We value unique expressions and diversity and are aware of the ethical risks associated with AI. If AI tools are used in our work, the output is thoroughly edited and reviewed by human employees before publication or other use.

Continuous Evaluation

We aim for responsible and ethical AI use and will regularly evaluate our approach to AI. We welcome an open dialogue on AI topics and our practice.
