Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

RELX belongs to the sector Industrials.

Science-based Targets (SBTI)

Date Published / Updated :01/03/2024

Near-term Long-Term Net Zero Standard
Targets Set : 1.5°C by 2030 No target No

RELX commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 56% by 2030
from a 2018 base year.
RELX also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased
goods and services, capital goods, business travel and employee commuting 30%
within the same timeframe.
RELX further commits that 60% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased
goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy related activities, upstream
transportation and distribution and business travel will have science-based targets
by 2027.
