Our Commitment
At LexisNexis, we come from all corners of the globe, backgrounds, and cultures to tackle complex challenges for customers.
We are an inclusive, connected, global community that supports and inspires each other on our journey to make a positive impact in everything we do.
LexisNexis has long been committed to advancing the rule of law around the world. We are committed to doing even more to eradicate racism where it exists to ensure equality for all under the law, transparency of law, independent judiciaries, and accessible legal remedy.
LexisNexis has signed the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter and is committed to its seven calls to action to ensure that ethnic minorities are represented at all levels in our organization:
- Appoint an executive sponsor for Race.
- Capture ethnicity data and publicize progress.
- Commit at the Board level to zero-tolerance on harassment and bullying.
- Make equity, diversity, and inclusion the responsibility of all leaders and managers.
- Take action that supports Black, Asian, Mixed Race, and other ethnically diverse employee career progression.
- Support race inclusion allies in the workplace.
- Include Black, Asian, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse-led enterprise owners in supply chains.
We publicly condemn racism and recognize its deteriorating effects on our society. We believe Black lives matter and we are an advocate for Black lives. We fight against systemic racism, and we use our influence and resources for this cause in several ways:
- We have committed to making charitable donations over the next five years through cash and in-kind contributions of products, services and employee expertise to improving racial and social justice.
- LexisNexis has signed a multi-year commitment to partner with the National Bar Association (NBA) to combat systemic racism and racial inequality. The NBA is the United States' largest national network of predominantly African-American attorneys and judges. It represents the interests of approximately 66,000 lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students.
- We are working with the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation and our community of customers, leading legal organizations, NGOs and other partners to raise awareness of inequities and hidden biases in legal systems, and effect change.
- Our employee-led African Ancestry Network ERG partnered with the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation to launch a fellowship program aimed at eliminating systemic racism in legal systems. In 2022, a larger second fellowship cohort was launched.
- We are using our solutions and data to provide insights into systemic racism in legal systems and support positive change. Many of our legal product offerings contain Deep Data and analytic capabilities that can be used to help illuminate racial and social disparities and support data-driven discussions for change.
- We publicly support calls for racial equality and justice. We use our social and web channels to advocate for those whose voices may not be heard otherwise.
We celebrate the individuality of each employee and believe that inclusion and diversity of all types attracts the brightest minds to create the most innovative solutions.
Here, our amazing colleagues lead and stretch us to be even better—with equal parts drive and support. This is a place where you learn something each day and can invent your professional path forward.
