The Board recognises the importance of building and maintaining sound relationships with RELX’s key stakeholders in order to achieve its business aims. Among the Group’s many and varied stakeholders, the Board has identified investors, employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate, as the company’s key stakeholders. Given its size, diversity and global business, stakeholder engagement takes place at all levels across the Group. To ensure adequate visibility of key stakeholder views, the Board received a detailed overview in the year covering engagement channels and activities the Company has with each of its key stakeholders.
Engagement with our investors is undertaken by members of the Board and at business level by senior management and our Investor Relations, Corporate Responsibility and Treasury teams. The Board is updated with feedback and commentary received from investors through business engagement, investor roadshows and meetings with institutional shareholders in respect of our recent and proposed activities. The Board receives regular reports on the Company’s share price and shareholder return performance and a review of analyst commentary in response to the Company’s market announcements and results publications.
