Code of Ethics

Sets the standards of behaviour for all RELX employees. Among other topics, the Code addresses fair competition, respect for human rights, anti-bribery, conflicts of interest, employment practices, data protection and appropriate use of company property and information. It also encourages reporting of violations – with an anonymous reporting option where legally permissible.

We offer several reporting channels to report Code-related concerns, including managers, human resources staff, Compliance committee members and company lawyers. We also provide the Integrity Line, hosted by an independent third-party, and available to employees, suppliers and other reporting persons by telephone or online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Integrity Line also includes an Ask A Question feature which allows employees to seek ethical advice before taking action. More information about these reporting channels is detailed in the Code, the RELX Reporting Concerns Policy and supplemental country-specific Reporting Concerns Notices available below. These documents prohibit retaliating against individuals who raise concerns or participate in an investigation.

Reports are investigated and action is taken accordingly if reports are substantiated. Substantiated reports result in additional training, coaching, policy changes, control enhancements, and/or disciplinary action. Report themes are reviewed by senior leadership to assist in measuring the effectiveness of reporting channels, identifying risks and areas to allocate Compliance programme resources. RELX has investigated or is in the process of investigating 404 reports of alleged Code violations received in 2024 through the RELX Integrity Line or through the other Reporting Channels identified in the Code. Approximately 46% of those reports where the investigation is complete have been substantiated.

Reporting Concerns

RELX maintains a comprehensive system for reporting concerns of violations of the RELX Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and encourages the reporting of suspected misconduct. The RELX Reporting Concerns Policy provides examples of the types of concerns that should be reported, explains the avenues available to report concerns, and describes how RELX investigates reported concerns. In addition, certain countries and regions around the globe have enhanced standards and protections for reporting violations of local laws. These enhanced standards and protections can be found in the country specific notices.
