ESG | Warner Bros. Discovery

Environmental, Social, and Governance

At Warner Bros. Discovery, we strive to be the global leader in media and entertainment, serving audiences and consumers around the world with content that informs, entertains, and, when we are at our best, inspires.

We are building on our strong legacies with the goal to do well as a business, while also doing good as members of communities around the world.

We intend to build upon our previous commitments and legacy programs as a champion for the diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences in our workforce and our world, and, ultimately, foster a respected, successful, sustainable, and inclusive global media and entertainment company.

We are excited to share more in our first sustainability report for the combined Warner Bros. Discovery, which can be found here.
