At the core of Berrett-Koehler's approach is stewardship: a deep sense of responsibility to administer the company for the benefit of all of our stakeholder groups, including authors, customers, employees, investors, service providers, and the world around us.

Everything we do is built around this and our other key values of quality, partnership, inclusion, and sustainability. This is why we are both a B Corporation and a California Benefit Corporation, which requires us to adhere to the highest standards for corporate, social, and environmental performance.

We are profoundly grateful to all the members of the BK community for being a part of our first 25 years. We couldn’t have done it without you!Here’s to another 25!

What Our Authors Say

“Berrett-Koehler is the most professional publishing house in the business. They are extremely fastidious in helping to develop clarity on the book’s message, the organization of the material, and the unique voice of the author.”

—Brian Tracy

Author of ten BK books that have sold over 3.3 million copies

“BK wants every book to make a difference in people’s lives. Before your book is published, BK has an ‘Author Day’ and invites you into their offices to meet with key people in every department. It’s a one-of-a-kind place.”

—Ken Blanchard

Author of twelve BK books that have sold over 2.1 million copies

“To me, the spirit of BK is one of incredible partnership, support, and collaboration. I know of no other place where an author feels so much a part of a community and feels like they’re really able to make a difference beyond writing their book.” 

—Jennifer Kahnweiler

Author of three BK books that have sold over 120,000 copies
