London Book Fair and Elsevier: Partners in sustainable action
A joint project by RX and Elsevier to put sustainability at the heart of London Book Fair 2023 (LBF), the publishing industry’s annual UK gathering, highlighted the importance of industry collaboration in accelerating climate change awareness and action.
RX and Elsevier are both committed to reducing our direct and indirect carbon emissions with the goal of becoming net zero by 2040, in line with our parent company RELX.
We also share a commitment to using our event publishing and platforms to support and drive the SDG agenda by stimulating conversation and collaboration and educating and influencing the industries we serve. Shortly after I joined the LBF team in September 2022, Rachel pitched the idea of a dedicated sustainability space to provide ideas and inspiration on the topic and highlight the important work being done in collaboration across the book chain - and so the Hub was born.
