RELX

RELX is a global provider of information-based analytics and decision tools for professional and business customers.

We help researchers make new discoveries, doctors and nurses improve the lives of patients, and lawyers develop winning strategies. We prevent online fraud and money laundering and help insurance companies evaluate and predict risk. Our events combine in-person and digital experiences to help customers learn about markets, source products and complete transactions.

In short, we enable our customers to make better decisions, get better results and be more productive.

RELX serves customers in more than 180 countries and has offices in about 40 countries. It employs over 33,000 people, of whom almost half are in North America. We operate in four major market segments: Scientific, Technical & Medical; Risk; Legal; and Exhibitions.

Mission: Our number one strategic priority continues to be the organic development of increasingly sophisticated information-based analytics and decision tools that deliver enhanced value to professional and business customers across the industries that we serve.

Our goal is to help our customers make better decisions, get better results and be more productive. We do this by leveraging a deep understanding of our customers to create innovative solutions which combine content and data with analytics and technology on global platforms.

We aim to build leading positions in long-term global growth markets and leverage our skills, assets and resources across RELX, both to build solutions for our customers and to pursue cost efficiencies.

We are systematically migrating all of our information solutions across RELX towards higher value-add decision tools, adding broader data sets, embedding more sophisticated analytics and leveraging more powerful technology, primarily through organic development.

We are transforming our core business, building out new products and expanding into higher growth adjacencies and geographies. We are supplementing this organic development with selective acquisitions of targeted data sets and analytics, and assets in high-growth markets that support our organic growth strategies, and are natural additions to our existing businesses.

By focusing on evolving the fundamentals of our business we believe that, over time, we are improving our business profile and the quality of our earnings. This has led to more predictable revenues through a better asset mix and geographic balance; a higher growth profile as we expand in higher growth segments, and gradually reduce the drag from print format declines; and improved returns by focusing on organic development with strong cash generation.
