LexisNexis and RELX are dedicated to protecting the environment. We are committed to reducing any negative environmental impacts, while continually improving our environmental performance and reducing our carbon footprint. Our focus in this area is aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We continue our support of the Climate Pledge, aiming to achieve net zero across all carbon scopes by 2040 at the latest. We have committed to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions, implement decarbonization strategies for emissions reductions, and address residual emissions with high-quality offsets.

LexisNexis Legal & Professional, a part of RELX Group, has a positive impact on the environment, principally through the information we produce which informs debate, aids decision makers and encourages research and development. We also have an impact through consumption of natural resources such as energy, water and waste generation, through our direct operations, supply chain and customer use of our products and services. We are committed to reducing any negative environmental impacts, while continually improving our environmental performance.
We assess, prioritize and mitigate environmental risks as part of our overall risk management process. In addition, our Global Environmental Policy applies to all areas of the business and is supported by a global Environmental Management System (EMS), aligned with the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
It outlines our obligation to “manage the environmental risks of our activities” and stipulates that “environmental risk is part of the overall risk assessment which business units are required to complete on an annual basis.” It indicates that we must consider, among other risks, those that require legislative compliance; have significant cost implications for the business; and which may affect our reputation.
Our network of Environmental Champions, together with colleagues throughout the business – including those from Communications, Finance, Legal, HR, IT, Procurement and Real Estate – as well as external stakeholders such as NGOs and investors, help with advice, ranking and tracking of our environmental risks and opportunities. They are reviewed during Environmental Checkpoint meetings, chaired by the CFO.
