Accelerating action for a sustainable future

We are driving change towards an inclusive and sustainable future with our people and with the research and healthcare communities we serve.

Volunteers planting a tree

Unique contributions as a responsible business

What gets measured gets done. We work to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)(opens in new tab/window) through evidence-based, measurable action in our business and in partnership with the communities that we serve. We are committed to making systemic change in inclusive research and healthcare by bringing together the expertise of our 9500 colleagues, our unique capabilities and the catalyst power of the Elsevier Foundation(opens in new tab/window).

Action for change

Research and scientific advancement are critical for progress and for addressing the grand societal, economic and environmental challenges that our world faces. We support and work alongside the research and healthcare communities to achieve a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable future.  We do this through our policies and initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint, the content we publish, the diversity of our editorial boards, the data-led insights we provide, our cutting-edge product innovation with inclusion and accessibility at its heart, and initiatives that build research and healthcare capacity in developing countries.

The Elsevier Foundation

The Elsevier Foundation contributes over $1 million a year to non-profit organizations and to knowledge-centered institutions around the world, supporting tech-enabled innovations in inclusive health and research.

Inclusive health and research

Taking action on climate

The world must reach net zero no later than 2050 – a challenge requiring rapid reduction in all greenhouse gases. Science-led solutions are critical to achieving this. As the leading scientific publisher, we have a role to play in ensuring that science is heard and acted upon by the right people.

Partnerships for the goals

Inclusion and diversity

Innovation, productivity and decision-making are enhanced when we embrace differences — from gender identity and sexual orientation to race and ethnicity, age, physical ability and neurodiversity. Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed in research, in health, and in our own organization.
