class="my-content"> <p>Our customers depend on us to provide them with ethically sourced and produced products and services. Therefore, our suppliers need to meet the same high standard we set for our own behaviour.</p> <h3>Managing an ethical supply chain </h3> <p>RELX has a diverse supply chain with suppliers located in over 150 countries across multiple categories, including technology (e.g. software, cloud, hardware and telecom), indirect (e.g. consulting, marketing, contingent labour and travel), and direct (e.g. data/content and production services, print/paper/bind and distribution).</p> <p>Given the importance of an ethical supply chain, we maintain a Socially Responsible Supplier (SRS) programme encompassing all our business areas, supported by colleagues with expertise in operations and procurement and a dedicated SRS Director from our global procurement function.</p> <h3>Monitoring suppliers</h3> <p>We have a comprehensive Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Code), available on www.relx.com in 16 languages, which we ask suppliers to adhere to and display prominently in the workplace. It commits them to following applicable laws and best practice in areas such as human rights, labour and the environment. It also asks our suppliers to require the same standards in their supply chains, including requesting subcontractors to enter into a commitment to uphold the Supplier Code. The Supplier Code states that, where local industry standards are higher than applicable legal requirements, we expect suppliers to meet the higher standards. Our SRS programme is a key aspect of our work to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain as described below. </p> <p>Through our SRS database, we track suppliers with whom we spend more than $1m annually, suppliers identified as critical by the company, and those located in medium- and high-risk countries (as designated by our third-party developed supplier risk tool) with a spend of $100,000 or more per year for the most recent consecutive two-year period. The tool incorporates 11 indicators, including human trafficking information from the US State Department and Environmental Performance Index results produced by Yale University and Columbia University in collaboration with the World Economic Forum. In 2023, 80% of our global spend was risk assessed utilising the supplier risk tool. </p> <p>The tracking list changes year-on-year based on the suppliers we engage to meet the needs of our business and/or changes in country risk designations within our third-party risk tool. In 2023, there were 796 suppliers on the SRS tracking list, 66 of which were in high-risk countries and 606 in medium-risk countries. 690 of the suppliers (87%) on the SRS tracking list have signed our Supplier Code, or have equivalent standards in place. The majority of non-signatories are new to the SRS tracking list and we are working with them, and other non-signatories, to gain agreement to our Code. In total, at the end of 2023 there were 5,322 signatories to our Supplier Code, or suppliers with an equivalent code, representing an increase of 19% from 4,467 signatories at the close of 2022. </p> <p>We engage a specialist supply chain auditor to conduct audits and assessments on our behalf using their platform. In 2023, a total of 125 external audits were conducted: 36 onsite and virtual onsite audits and 89 desktop audits. During a desktop audit, the supplier responds to an online questionnaire and uploads relevant supporting documents followed by a risk assessment using the third-party platform. For virtual onsite audits, facility representatives wear a video and audio source to allow remote interaction with a qualified auditor. The auditor can then evaluate the facility, conduct interviews, and review the necessary documentation in real time, just as if conducting an in-person audit. During an onsite audit, the auditor will select employees from a full roster to interview (and may select employees on the work floor during the facility walkthrough). Employee interviews are private and confidential and facility management is not allowed to be present. All information gathered from employee interviews is anonymised. When the auditor communicates non-compliance to facility management, they are not allowed to disclose information which could identify the employee or employees to avoid retaliation against them, which is forbidden in the Supplier Code. </p> <p>Incidents of non-compliance trigger continuous improvement reports summarising audit results and remediation plans. The audit covers critical dimensions of the Supplier Code such as: labour (including child/forced labour, discrimination, discipline, harassment/abuse, freedom of association, labour contracts); wages and hours (including wages and benefits and working hours); health and safety (including general work facility, emergency preparedness, occupational injury, machine safety, safety hazards, chemical and hazardous material, dormitory and canteen); management systems (including documentation and records, worker feedback and participation, audits and corrective action process); environment (including legal compliance, environmental management systems, waste and air emissions); anti-corruption and data security. During 2023 onsite and virtual onsite audit locations included Argentina, India, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa and the United Kingdom. </p> <p>To minimise the risks of deforestation in our production paper supply chain, we utilise the Forest Sourcing module of The Book Chain Project, a shared industry resource for sustainable paper we helped establish, to assess the forest sources of our papers. By year end 2023, 100% of RELX’s production paper was graded by The Book Chain Project as known and responsible (sustainable) sources or certified to FSC or PEFC (note: less than 0.5% not yet graded or certified). </p> <p>During 2023 we held RELX Supplier sessions focused on the RELX supplier audit process and our efforts to collect and report CO2 emissions.</p> <h3>Promoting human rights through the Supplier Code</h3> <p>As stated above, the Supplier Code sets out expectations for our suppliers’ ethical conduct. </p> <p>In accordance with the UK’s Modern Slavery Act 2015, our Supplier Code specifically prohibits participation in any activity related to human trafficking, based on the American Bar Association’s Model Business Conduct Standards to Eradicate Labor Human Rights Impacts in Hiring and Supply Chain Practices. </p> <p>In 2023, we updated our RELX Modern Slavery Act Statement (MSA), available from www.relx.com, which states how we are working to avoid human trafficking and modern slavery in our direct operations and in our supply chain. </p> <p>The Supplier Code stipulates that, where required by law, suppliers will have employment contracts signed with all employees and requires mechanisms for reporting grievances. It additionally contains a provision on involuntary labour that states unequivocally that suppliers cannot directly or indirectly use, participate in, or benefit from, involuntary workers and human trafficking-related activities. Suppliers have access to Modern Slavery Awareness training through our audit provider. In addition, we asked all suppliers audited during the year to complete an e-learning course on preventing forced labour. We use a UK Government definition of modern slavery, particularly “the trafficking of people, forced labour, servitude and slavery.” We did not receive any reports or questions from employees that related to modern slavery in the year. </p> <p>The Supplier Code states, “Failure to comply with any RELX term, condition, requirement, policy or procedure…may result in the cancellation of all existing orders and termination of the business relationship between RELX and supplier.” It further states suppliers must not tolerate any retaliation against any employee who makes a good faith report of abuse, intimidation, discrimination, harassment or any violation of law or of the Supplier Code or who assists in the investigation of any such report.</p> <div class="scroll-table-container"> <table class="custom-table mission-and-vision-table rad-content" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="rad-highlight">2023 PERFORMANCE<br /> Advance Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Programme</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> We are committed to proactive engagement with suppliers to ensure that our supply chain reflects the diversity of our communities. During 2023, we continued to focus on our supplier diversity programme through participation in a Supplier Diversity Taskforce, diversity conferences, best practice sharing and increased internal staff support. In the year, 3.3% of our US spend was with veteran, minority or woman-owned businesses. Including small businesses, 14.8% of total US spend was with diverse suppliers. We use an independent supplier diversity database to classify diverse suppliers. </p> <p>Diverse-owned businesses interested in working with RELX can register on the RELX Supplier Diversity Registration Portal. While registration does not provide preferred supplier status or guarantee of business, it provides visibility within RELX for suppliers who can potentially fulfil business requirements.
