The global pandemic, with the closure of our locations for much of the year, yielded a significant decrease in consumption levels across our environmental impact areas. In 2020, we reduced Scope 1 (direct) carbon emissions by 42% and our Scope 2 (location-based) emissions by 22% from 2019. In our own operations (including business travel), our emissions were net zero in 2020 through a combination of reduced emissions and the purchase of renewable energy and renewable energy certificates, with the balance offset through Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) credits in a REDD+ carbon sequestration project. We also reduced total energy by 19%; water use by 35%; and waste sent to landfill from reporting locations by 68% in the year.
We had been on track to meet our 2010-2020 environmental targets - which reflect science-based methodology and input from stakeholders - before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Their achievement includes exceeding our goal to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 location-based carbon emissions by 40% with a 64% decrease, and surpassing a goal to cut energy and fuels by 30% with a 52% reduction. We reached our goal of purchasing renewable electricity equivalent to 100% of our global electricity consumption from renewable energy and renewable energy certificates and attained ISO 14001 certification for 55% of our business. Full performance data can be found in the 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report. https://www.relx.com/~/media/Files/R/RELX-Group/documents/responsibility/download-center/2020-cr-report.pdf
