RELX SDG Inspiration Day 2024: Leading edge discussion on AI for sustainable development: the risks and opportunities
The tenth RELX SDG Inspiration Day - a free, online event for thought leaders, corporate representatives, students, investors, government and NGOs to explore issues, gain practical insights and be inspired to take action in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
As we pass the halfway point for the SDGs, many of the goals are worryingly off track and progress on 85% of the target indicators has stalled or even reversed. Through our information, products and people, RELX remains committed to advancing the Goals. Here are some of the ways that we continue to support their achievement.
ICIS, a RELX business, analyses the complex problem plastics, recycling, and disposal, relating to SDG 12, Sustainable Consumption and Production. They believe the solution is likely to involve improving recycling infrastructures; designing new, more sustainable plastics; designing products with an end-of-life plan; finding new ways to degrade plastics – such as plastic-eating mealworms and microbes; and diversifying the raw materials that make plastics to plant-based alternatives.
This article, relating to SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, analyses global recycling and sustainability trends, chemical industry environmental regulations, and supply chain issues.
ICIS, a RELX business, analyses the chemical recycling process and its potential as a long term recycling solution, relating to SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production. So far, there have been many challenges facing chemical recycling adoption that are explained in this article, however, longer term there is some certainty that chemical recycling can be complimentary to mechanical recycling overall.
In 2021, RELX continued to build on our strong corporate responsibility (CR) performance during the year, further improving on our key internal metrics and extending the scope of our unique contributions. This article is linked to SDGs 1,3,10,11,12,13 and 16, in line with RELX's areas of expertise.
