Committed to Environmental Improvements

LexisNexis has a direct impact on the environment, principally through our use of energy and water, the generation of waste, business travel, paper use, transportation, and print and production technologies. We are committed to actively reducing our environmental impact through conservation and by efficiently employing sustainable materials and technologies.

LexisNexis is improving its environmental performance in many ways:

• We increase energy, water and waste efficiency through investments in new and upgraded technology and mechanical equipment.
• We promote the reuse of materials. For example, in partnership with the charity Green Standards, LexisNexis retrofits old IT and other equipment for educational purposes.
• We recycle approximately 288,000 pounds of post-consumer paper annually.
• We offer an Alternate Work Solutions program that earned LexisNexis a spot on the 2006 “Best Workplaces for Commuters” list —sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
• We improve our environmental reporting by gathering more robust data and engaging Ernst & Young to review it.

LexisNexis is striving to reduce energy and water consumption by 10% in 2008 on a 2003 baseline; transportation emissions by 2% in 2009 on a 2004 baseline; 50% of waste recycled in the UK by 2009; and, a 10% reduction in total CO²  emissions by 2010 on a 2003 baseline.
