Corporate RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate responsibility begins with the purpose of the company. We act with high ethical standards, while using our strengths to make a positive impact on society. To us, CR is not a programme or prescriptive set of activities, it is how we conduct ourselves and our business on a daily basis. It is the responsibility of everyone at RELX.

We align the objectives we set for our unique contributions, as well as those for the significant areas that affect all companies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to support the achievement of these 17 global goals by 2030:

ENGAGING OTHERS

To understand which issues we should focus on, we consider our business priorities and engage regularly with stakeholders.

RELX ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE

Each year the RELX Environmental Challenge is awarded to projects that best demonstrate how they can provide improved and sustainable access to water or sanitation where it is presently at risk.

There is a $50,000 prize for the first place entry and a $25,000 prize for the second place entry. The winners also receive free access for one year to ScienceDirect, our Scientific, Technical & Medical business’ database of full text, scientific information.
