Our Mission

Modified on Fri, 6 Feb at 3:05 PM

Our mission is simple: To help local, independent bookstores thrive in the age of ecommerce.


Certified as a B Corp, Bookshop.org puts this mission and the public good above financial interests, giving over 80% of our profit margin to independent bookstores. In 2022, B-Labs announced we were "best for the world": in the top 5% of all B-Corps.


It is written in our governance documents that we will never sell the company to Amazon or any major U.S. retailer.


As a Climate Neutral company, we are committed to operating sustainably.
