Global Health Network

World Health Day on April 7, 2008, saw the launch of the Lancet Global Health Network. The network will search and archive evidence, commission new studies and campaign for action in critical areas of international health and development, focusing particularly on low and middle-income countries. It is just one of a range of important development programmes we are involved in.

Recognition

Publications, products and people from across the company were publicly recognised last year for the contribution they make to society, with our journals, books, digital solutions and writers winning a wide range of awards.

Senior Managers

On 14 May during the Reed Elsevier Senior Management Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, nearly 200 senior managers, including CEO Sir Crispin Davis, helped make a difference to local young people on behalf of the Boys & Girls Club of the Trident Area.

Fuel Footprint

In a first for the media industry we carried out a study in 2007 to measure the carbon footprint of one of our titles, the Elsevier journal, Fuel. We measured emissions created by producing a print version versus an online journal.

When in Rome

Senior managers of Reed Elsevier threw their weight behind our annual RE Cares community programme last year, when they took an afternoon out from the 2007 Global Management Conference in Rome to volunteer on local projects helping young kids.

Connected

Listening to customers is the best way of making sure our products are relevant and useful. But we also try to find ways to put customers in touch with each other. Elsevier’s Library Connect publications and events help information professionals from countries across the globe get in touch with each other as well as Elsevier colleagues and exchange views, knowledge and experience.
