Our vision

“Our vision is for CLA to become the provider of choice for rights, content, and licensing. We are realising this vision by collaborating with customers, rightsholders, and technology partners to simplify copyright and make it easier to access and re-use content while respecting the rights of others.

We all have a part to play in achieving the vision. Our culture, and the way that we work and interact together, are critical to CLA achieving its strategic objectives. We have created and adopted these values to support our vision, shape our culture and express what we believe in. They were developed in 2021 through a working group of the board and employees, and with input and feedback from across the company.

We aim to embed our values right through our organisation – in our ways of working, from recruitment to performance and personal and career development so we build and sustain a unique and successful culture.” (Mat Pfleger – CEO)

We support creativity

Our licences champion authors, visual artists, and publishers, ensuring they’re rewarded fairly for their work. By supporting the creative economy, we help fund and secure the future of books, articles and visual arts that benefit society. We believe our work is an integral part of the creative ecosystem and a force for good.

Our knowledge is our strength

We’re proud of CLA’s mission to make copyright simple. The specialist knowledge in rights and collective licensing we’ve developed over the years across all sectors, gives us a unique understanding of our customers' needs. Our experience helps us educate and guide others through the complexities of copyright licensing and legal access to published media.

We connect creative communities

We are team players who thrive on the connection between creative communities and customers. Operating as part of a global network, we work with organisations around the UK and across the world, to enable legal access to the rights we represent. We have a strong sense of responsibility to each other, our Members, and all those we work with, doing our utmost to stay connected to our stakeholders and reach out to those who need us.
