APE Network believes that publishers and book distributors have the opportunity of affecting people’s lives through knowledge and so they have the responsibility of shaping values, ideas and skills of the people in a manner that will create a responsible, aware and productive society.

Further, we believe that publishers should consider themselves teachers of values and knowledge whose success will be determined not by the volume of sales but by the values adopted by the people they educate, their level of awareness, their skills and scope of the careers they pursue.
