We bring stories to life

Saga Egmont is an international publisher of popular literature for all readers. What’s better than a great story that makes you feel the sparks of love, the chill of horror, or gives you a new perspective? In our opinion: Not much is better. That’s why we love to bring the joy of stories to new and seasoned readers.

We publish the best stories from the world’s greatest storytellers of the last hundred years – and those of tomorrow too. You’ll find our printed books in a bookstore near you or online. Our e-books and audiobooks are listed on all major bookstore apps, digital libraries, and music services.

Our mission is to secure and embrace the global literary heritage and tell stories in a new way – because good stories don’t have an expiration date. At the same time we are also bringing new great stories into the world.

Saga Egmont is a Copenhagen-based international publisher founded in 2015. We currently publish e-books, audiobooks and paper books in more than 12 languages – engaging and exciting people all around the globe.

Making books available – everywhere

We want to unite every book with its reader. Our independence as a publisher gives us the opportunity to work with any channel or distribution partner that shares our vision of making books available.

It depends on many factors such as the power used by studios, retailers, length of the book, and more. However a Swedish study by bbki.se calculates an average emission of 8g CO2 emission per e-book reading and 34g CO2 emission per audiobook reading. In the same report they calculate an average emission for printed books at 650g CO2 emission. However, it’s important to note that this comparison is difficult, since it doesn’t take into account the climate impact from producing the device used to listen to or read the book (smartphone, tablet). For a full calculation the device footprint should also be considered. Still, current data calculate the digital books as the most green solution on average.

Saga Egmont has a relatively small carbon footprint. It is mainly related to office operations. The office buildings are owned by Egmont, who has invested in a solar park to match our energy consumption. The biggest initiative is that Egmont has committed to SBTi (Science Base Targets initiative). This is currently the most ambitious climate initiative a company can take. We commit to setting targets in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Read more here.

Furthermore, in the autumn of 2024 Saga Egmont takes part in planting 15,000 trees, to contribute to all the advantages that brings. If you haven’t already read Egmont’s sustainability report, you can find it here

“Since 2018, we’ve successfully collaborated with Saga Egmont to globalize Jeffrey Archer’s titles. We have always found Saga incredibly easy to work with, and very professional. We have subsequently widened our collaboration to include books written by some of our other clients, and we look forward to continue working with Saga in the future.“
