Who we are
We are an organisation that exists to drive progress. That's the “red thread” that connects everyone at The Economist Group (TEG). Our businesses share a devotion to innovation, independence and rigour in their fields of expertise. We empower people to understand and tackle the critical challenges and changes facing the world. Our analytical rigour, global expertise and evidence-based insights enable individuals and organisations to make sense of these shifts and chart a course through them.
Our story began in 1843, when a Scottish hat manufacturer founded The Economist newspaper to further the cause of free trade. Since then, we have evolved into a staunchly independent global media and information-services company that provides intelligent thinking for an international audience. We deliver our analysis and insights in many formats to subscribers and clients in 170 countries with four businesses, each of which upholds our global reputation for excellence and integrity.
