We are fast reducing our direct and indirect emissions with the goal of becoming Net Zero by 2040, with additional ambitious milestones in place for 2025 and 2030. We know we have more work to do. This is why we are sharing our progress and learnings, with our colleagues and our communities, and welcome constructive dialogue and ideas.
We know we can’t reach net zero alone, so we work with our suppliers and industry peers on initiatives to minimise carbon impact. Our Supplier Carbon Reduction Program empowers our suppliers to work towards reducing carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. More than 70% of our top suppliers have been onboarded.
London Book Fair and Elsevier: Partners in sustainable action
A joint project by RX and Elsevier to put sustainability at the heart of London Book Fair 2023, the publishing industry’s annual UK gathering, highlighted the importance of industry collaboration in accelerating climate change awareness and action.
A joint project by RX and Elsevier to put sustainability at the heart of London Book Fair 2023 (LBF), the publishing industry’s annual UK gathering, highlighted the importance of industry collaboration in accelerating climate change awareness and action.
RX and Elsevier are both committed to reducing our direct and indirect carbon emissions with the goal of becoming net zero by 2040, in line with our parent company RELX.
We also share a commitment to using our event publishing and platforms to support and drive the SDG agenda by stimulating conversation and collaboration, and educating and influencing the industries we serve. Shortly after I joined the LBF team in September 2022, Rachel pitched the idea of a dedicated sustainability space to provide ideas and inspiration on the topic and highlight the important work being done in collaboration across the book chain - and so the Hub was born.
