Investing in women and championing gender equality turbocharges a future where everyone in society can thrive, creating a world of boundless opportunity and empowerment for all.
In 2023 RELX became a Lead partner for the WE Empower UN SDG Challenge - a first of its kind global initiative, focused on empowering and elevating women entrepreneurs.
In this special episode of RELX's "The World We Want" series, in celebration of International Women's Day 2024, Dr Márcia Balisciano, Chief Sustainability Officer, is joined by guests Andrea "Andy" Blair, Co-Founder and President of New Zealand based geothermal research and innovation company, Upflow and Susan Blanchet, Founder and CEO of Origen Air.
