<p><span>We work to increase the positive impact we have on the environment through our products and services which provide essential insight and bring stakeholders together, while also striving to reduce our environmental footprint across our company and value chain.</span></p> <h3><span>A positive environmental impact </span></h3> <p><span>Our key environmental impact is through our products and services which help inform debate, aid decision makers and encourage research and development with regard to environmental issues. </span></p> <p><span>The CEO is responsible to the Board for environmental performance; the CEOs of our business areas are responsible for complying with environmental policy, legislation and regulations and the CFO is our most senior environmental advocate. Our Chief Sustainability Officer and Global Head of Corporate Responsibility engages with the Board on environmental issues and we work with Environmental Champions and dedicated engineering, design and real estate specialists to improve efficiency wherever possible in our portfolio. </span></p> <p><span>In 2023, we continued 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 decarbonisation strategies for emissions reductions and address residual emissions with high-quality offsets. Details of our net zero transition road map are available on pages 76 and 85 of the RELX Annual Report. </span></p> <p><span>We support progressive environmental legislation and in 2023 continued our membership in the Aldersgate Group, an alliance of leaders from business, politics and civil society, chaired by former UK Prime Minister Theresa May, that drives action for a sustainable economy. In the year, we signed a letter to the British Prime Minister confirming our support for delivering progress on the UK’s net zero commitments. We hosted an event to launch a report from UCL and the Aldersgate Group on the electrification of British industry, and continued our membership of the Net Zero Supply Chains initiative with other companies and NGO partners organised by Pineapple Partnerships. </span></p> <p><span>We were a Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) Supporter until it was disbanded in the year and have expanded our TCFD disclosure (see page 82). We remain signatories of We Are Still In, a network of more than 3,900 businesses, universities, cities, states and other organisations, committed to combatting climate change.</span></p> <h3><span>Our key environmental impact: environmental knowledge </span></h3> <p><span>In creating and delivering our products and services we have an impact on the environment in areas such as carbon emissions, energy and water usage. But arguably bigger and more important is our growing portfolio of environmental research, products and services, which spread good practice, encourage debate and aid researchers and decision makers. The most recent results from Scopus show our share of citations in environmental science represented 54% of the total. </span></p> <h3><span>Risk </span></h3> <p><span>Climate-driven extreme weather events are increasing and pose a specific challenge to the insurance industry. In response to intensifying climate risks, insurers require data and technology to better assess risk. Combining geospatial information, imagery and historical records with predictive analytics and AI, LexisNexis Risk Solutions provides comprehensive data sets and analytics to support the industry to better understand and price risk. Geospatial information can provide vital information about a property’s likely susceptibility to flood, fire or storm damage. Meanwhile, aggregating comparative data can help insurers benchmark performance in certain regions to manage localised risk more effectively. </span></p> <p><span>In 2023, Cirium, a Risk business unit, advanced its flight emissions methodology powered by EmeraldSky. This advancement aims to deliver a standardised and precise overview of carbon emissions and fuel burn calculations for each aircraft flight and seat. This data serves as the foundation for RELX’s business flight travel emissions data. </span></p> <h3><span>Scientific, Technical & Medical </span></h3> <p><span>The Lancet published their 2023 Countdown on health and climate change which monitors the evolving health profile of climate change and provides an independent assessment of the delivery of commitments made by governments worldwide under the Paris Agreement. The content, either open access or free to read, covers 47 indicators, drawing on the expertise of 114 scientists and health practitioners from 52 research institutions and UN agencies worldwide. </span></p> <p><span>Elsevier delivered the first Sustainability Hub at the London Book Fair in 2023 with a stage devoted to raising awareness of the growing climate emergency and how the publishing industry can best respond. Events included a presentation on the SDG Publishers Compact, a keynote from London Mayor Sadiq Khan about making London a more sustainable city and a session from Book Industry Communication (BIC) on designing books with recycling in mind. Elsevier worked with Smart Space, RX’s in-house design and build service, to create a prototype carbon label of its stand using four main categories from the exhibitor perspective: stand build; venue emissions and water; operations (emissions from staff travel and accommodation); and emissions associated with the products displayed. </span></p> <h3><span>Legal </span></h3> <p><span>Legal has extensive environmental law offerings for customers including curated daily news alerts, podcasts, law trackers and consultations. Specifically on climate change, tools show where climate change targets come from at national, European and international levels, climate reporting and disclosure frameworks, litigation and practical guidance. </span></p> <p><span>In 2023, the LexisNexis Legal and Professional Practical Guidance Journal featured a dedicated climate change issue covering topics such as sea level rise and how it affects public and private projects; energy security and climate change initiatives in the US Inflation Reduction Act; and climate change in M&A transactions, among others. </span></p> <p><span>In the year, PatentSight, which provides curated and enriched patent datasets and analysis tools to advance research and development, competitive intelligence and benchmarking, and more, released a publicly available report on sustainable technologies linked to the SDGs. It shows, for example, among the largest share of patents for SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy, is hybrid vehicles and biofuels; for SDG 13, Climate Action, it is for GHG emissions reductions. </span></p> <h3><span>Exhibitions </span></h3> <p><span>RX’s portfolio of environmental events include World Future Energy Summit. Held in Abu Dhabi in January 2023, the show focused on critical sectors shaping sustainability and driving investment globally including solar; clean energy; ecowaste; water, and smart cities. With over 200 hours of expert content, the Summit’s knowledge-sharing programme was its most extensive and diverse to date. Over 250 speakers, including government officials and 166 CEOs, presidents and founders of leading companies, shared their insights with over 30,000 investors, policy makers, business leaders, project owners and technology pioneers. </span></p> <p><span>The 2023 edition of Pollutec in Lyon, France, the international event for environmental and energy solutions committed to accelerating environmental innovation, showcased over 1,000 exhibitors, including 200 start-ups. 420 conference sessions were delivered, and over 42,800 attendees came to learn, network and conduct business. The 2023 Pollutec Innovation Awards highlighted 12 finalists and rewarded three winners: Grims Énergie (thermal storage), MTB (li-ion battery recycling), and Purenat (a textile capable of destroying organic pollutants in the air).</span></p> <p><span> All-Energy is the UK’s largest renewables and low carbon showcase, held in Glasgow. It connects clean energy suppliers and technology providers with energy industry developers, buyers, investors, and policy makers. Reflecting the urgency required to meet UK net zero emissions targets, the 2023 event broke previous attendance records. Nearly 600 speakers took part in the free-to-attend conference, which featured contributions from Scotland’s First Minister, Rt Hon Humza Yousaf and Minister for Energy, Gillian Martin. Dcarbonise, another show in the RX portfolio, supported by the Scottish government and Energy Saving Trust, offered end-users advice and technology to help them decarbonise their buildings, businesses and transport systems.</span></p> <h3><span>Environmental risks and opportunities </span></h3> <p><span>The assessment, prioritisation and mitigation of environmental risks are integrated into our overall company-wide risk management process which considers current and emerging risks to achieving RELX’s strategic goals. The Board assesses the risk level and mitigation strategies and monitors implementation by senior managers. </span></p> <p><span>Colleagues throughout the business, as well as external stakeholders such as NGOs and investors, help us monitor and rank our environmental risks and opportunities. They are reviewed quarterly by the Environmental Checkpoint Committee, chaired by the CFO, during the year. </span></p> <p><span>Our <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="www.relx.com/cr-downloads" target="_blank">Global Environmental Policy</a> applies to all areas of the company and states that we must consider, among other risks, those that require legislative compliance, have significant cost implications for the company and/or may affect our reputation. The Global Environment Policy is supported by a global Environmental Management System (EMS), certified to the ISO 14001 environmental standard across the group. </span></p> <p><span>The EMS covers the assessment of existing and emerging regulatory requirements related to climate change, including carbon pricing, taxes and additional reporting requirements. </span></p> <p><span>It includes transition and physical risks and has informed our TCFD report, including transitioning to a lower carbon economy and risks related to physical impacts of climate change.  </span></p> <p><span>Green Teams, employee-led environmental groups representing 53% of employees in 44 key facilities, help us implement our EMS and achieve environmental improvements at the local level. We are also aided by consistent dialogue with stakeholders including employees, government and NGOs. We participate in sector initiatives, such as the Book Chain Project, and further our understanding through environmental benchmarking activities, such as CDP.<br /> </span></p> <h3><span>Assessing our environmental impact </span></h3> <p><span>While as a non-manufacturing company our direct use of resources is limited, we monitor all our environmental impacts, and prioritise climate change, water, waste and paper use. Throughout 2023, we worked to reduce our direct environmental impact as well as upstream and downstream impacts as part of a lifecycle approach to our operations. </span></p> <p><span>Third-party verification of our environmental data gives us confidence in its reliability and improves our reporting.<br /> </span></p> <h3><span>Climate change </span></h3> <p><span>Our Climate Change Statement supports the scientific community’s opinion that human activity is contributing to climate change; we support the Paris Agreement’s intention to limit climate change to 1.5°C.</span></p> <p><span><a href="https://www.relx.com/cr-downloads">The RELX Climate Change Statement is available here</a>.</span></p> <p><span>Since 2020, there has been a change in how our office space is utilised. This has contributed to decreases in reported carbon emissions. To show trends, we report data over a longer time sequence. </span></p> <p><span>Emissions from work-related flights are calculated using EmeraldSky, a solution developed by Cirium within Risk. This innovative methodology combines comprehensive industry datasets with Cirium’s proprietary data to accurately determine the fuel consumption of individual flights. Unlike distance-based methodologies, the Cirium methodology powered by EmeraldSky recognises and highlights carbon-efficient carriers and routes, enabling businesses to effectively reduce their travel emissions. </span></p> <p><span>See <a href="https://www.relx.com/additional-cr-resources" target="_self">methodology notes</a> for full details. </span></p> <p><span>Total Scope 1 emissions decreased by 17% in the year due to lower fuel consumption. Car fleet emissions have decreased 82% since 2010 and overall Scope 1 emissions by 68% during the same period. </span></p> <p><span>Scope 2 (location-based) emissions decreased by 2% in the year due to office space consolidations, as well as lower power consumption at our data centres. </span></p> <p><span>Scope 3 business travel data covers all our air travel booked and collected through our travel partner, BCD, and completed within the reporting period. While further resumption of business travel in 2023 led to a 7% increase in emissions over 2022, since 2019, we have reduced travel emissions by 58%.</span></p> <h3><span>Our Net Zero Commitment </span></h3> <p><span>As a signatory to the Climate Pledge, we are committed to becoming net zero by 2040 at the latest. The main tenets of the initiative, a community of more than 450 organisations working to address climate change, is measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and implementing decarbonisation strategies for significant emissions reductions. </span></p> <p><span>Since 2010, we have reduced our Scope 1 and 2 location-based carbon emissions by 75%. In 2023, our new carbon target began verification by the Science Based Targets Initiative. This aligns with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Climate Agreement and will require us to continue reducing greenhouse gas emissions and maintain our internal carbon pricing scheme, among other measures. </span></p> <p><span>We compensated for emissions in Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 (work-related flights, hotels, cloud computing, home-based working and commuting) by purchasing verifiable offsets in 2023 encompassing REDD+ forestry and peatland projects in Colombia and Indonesia. We do not use offsets in our carbon performance reporting.</span></p> <h3><span>Road Map </span></h3> <p><span>RELX’s emissions are aligned with the 1.5°C pathway. We aim to maintain this performance by pursuing further emissions reductions in two primary ways: </span></p> <ol> <li><span>Company operations: We set and aim to achieve science-based reduction targets that bring us to net zero no later than 2040. Read more about our carbon reduction targets and our carbon performance on pages 73-81 of the RELX Annual Report. </span></li> <li><span>Value chain: We will engage with our suppliers on setting and attaining their own science-based carbon reduction targets and also address emissions from other Scope 3 categories. Read more about how we engage with suppliers on pages 69-72 of the RELX Annual Report. </span></li> </ol> <p><span> </span></p> <p><span>RELX will continue to advance wider action on climate change through: </span></p> <ol> <li><span>The continued development of leading-edge products, services and events on climate change and net zero transition </span></li> <li><span>Industry partnerships such as the Responsible Media Forum’s Climate Pact and Net Zero Events, an initiative for the global events industry </span></li> <li><span>Climate advocacy supporting responsible climate-related initiatives through organisations such as the United Nations Global Compact, The Aldersgate Group, and RE100 </span></li> <li><span>Sharing climate knowledge broadly through offerings such as the free <a href="www.sdgresources.relx.com">RELX SDG Resource Centre</a> </span></li> </ol> <p><span> </span></p> <p><span>We will continue to advance our net zero efforts through an internal carbon price payable by all business areas for Scope 1, 2 and select Scope 3 emissions. The 2023 price is $35/tCO2e and will increase over time. </span></p> <p><span>Climate objectives are monitored by the RELX CR Forum, chaired by the Head of Corporate Affairs, which meets twice per year to agree and assess progress on sustainability targets and objectives. Read more about CR governance on page 50. Executive remuneration is linked to achieving environmental targets including our Scope 1 and 2 carbon reduction target.</span></p> <h3><span>Energy </span></h3> <p><span>As RELX predominantly occupies leased locations with few opportunities for onsite generation, we rely on green tariffs and renewable energy certificates (RECs) to purchase renewables equal to 100% of our global electricity consumption. In 2023, Green-e certified wind RECs were purchased from sources in Texas. </span></p> <p><span>Energy consumption at our offices, representing around 50% of the total, decreased in 2023 due to ongoing office space consolidation. Data centre energy, representing around 40% of the total, decreased as we continue to move activity to the cloud. </span></p> <p><span>We are a member of RE100, a global initiative bringing together businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity.</span> </p> <h3><span>Water </span></h3> <p><span>The majority of our sites use water from municipal supply and are in developed countries with a high capability for water adaptation and mitigation. </span></p> <p><span>Our water usage decreased 9% between 2022 and 2023 due to ongoing office space consolidation. </span></p> <p><span>We engage with internal water experts who produce water related content for our customers. In 2023, we offered customers 24 peer-reviewed journals in water science and technology, including Water Research.</span></p> <h3>Waste</h3> <p><span>Total waste generated by our locations decreased by 27% in 2023, primarily due to changes in how our office space is utilised. </span></p> <p><span>Of waste generated at our locations, we estimate 73% was recycled and 93% diverted from landfill through recycling, composting and energy generation from waste. Of the waste produced at our reporting locations, excluding estimated data, 76% was recycled. </span></p> <p><span>Where reliable measurements are not available, we calculate waste based on weight sampling and by counting waste containers leaving our premises. Although local municipalities most often carry out sorting and recycling, we report all waste as going to landfill unless we have robust evidence. For this reason, performance against our waste target is linked to our reporting locations. </span></p> <p><span>We do not produce any material amounts of hazardous waste. We continued to work toward our target to reduce waste sent to landfill from reporting locations. In 2023, waste sent to landfill from reporting locations, excluding estimated data, decreased by 38%. </span></p> <p><span>We work to reduce packaging waste from our physical products. In the UK, we provide information on packaging waste in line with the UK government’s Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007. As a member of the Biffpack compliance scheme, we report the amount of obligated packaging (as defined in the Packaging Waste Regulations) we generate through selling, pack and fill and importation of our products.</span></p> <h3>Paper </h3> <p>The quantity of production paper purchased in 2023 decreased by 21% over 2022 and by 66% since 2010 as we deliver more of our products online, reflecting a circular economy approach to conducting our business. </p> <p>During 2023, we updated the RELX Paper Policy to highlight our commitment to avoiding deforestation and other environmental impacts through the purchase of sustainably sourced papers. </p> <p>100% of RELX production papers were graded as known and responsible sources or certified to FSC or PEFC. We continue to reduce waste and the environmental impact of producing our products through measures such as smaller print runs, digital over litho printing, print on demand and lighter papers where possible.</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 /> Review global car fleet policies with the aim to move to more fuel-efficient vehicles</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p> The size of the RELX car fleet has decreased by 25% since 2015, to less than 500 vehicles across the company. Over this period, fleet emissions have reduced by 65% due to the reduction in vehicles and improvements in vehicle performance. </p> <p>Since 2015, the number of zero or low-emission vehicle models in the fleet has more than quadrupled and approximately 7% of the fleet is fully electric (up from 0 electric vehicles in 2015). </p> <p>Fleet emissions account for a minimal share of emissions of around 3% of the reported Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. </p> <p>During 2023, we conducted an analysis of approximately 80% of fleet vehicles through our primary global lease to better understand how we can best accelerate the transition to electric vehicles. </p> <p>A survey of the remaining vehicles highlighted areas of the business where low-emission vehicles could be more effectively incorporated.  </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p> </p> <h3>Targets and standards </h3> <p>Our focus is on delivering continuous improvement in our environmental performance year-on-year. In 2023, we reduced our energy consumption by 6% compared to 2022, with this resulting in a reduction of 4% in our scope 1 and scope 2 (location-based) emissions as emissions factors changed in a number of countries. We also reduced our water consumption by 9%, reduced waste sent to landfill by 38% and reached 100% for our sustainable production paper metric. </p> <p>We also set longer term targets to reflect our ambition over time. In 2023, we achieved all the environmental targets we had set for 2025, as shown in the table to the right. We are in the process of setting new targets, out to 2030, against a 2018 baseline year, with our proposed targets currently being reviewed by the Science Based Targets initiative. </p> <p>We continue to report on our indirect Scope 3 emissions.
