Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is publishing an academic journal. Environmental ethics reprints books on environmental ethics. They also support publishing projects with others, organize conferences on environmental ethics and support formal and informal education and research with the university of north Texas.

What it reported doing in 2025

We published three issues of environmental ethics for both print and online subscribers. Revenue came from both back issues and previously published books. Publishing a journal and reprinting books are our main nonprofit purposes. No conference was held. We had no visiting scholars. We continue to work with the biocultural conservation program at the university of north Texas (unt). The translation of eugene hargrove's foundation of environmental ethics was not completed and will be published in the future. Cep has not contributed any financial support to the publication and will not receive any profit from this publication. Richard rozzi was involved in this editorial project and received some release time from his program at unt.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
