In Quezon City, a quiet but meaningful milestone unfolded as RELX | Reed Elsevier marked 15 years of operations in the Philippines—celebrating not just longevity, but a journey shaped by innovation, talent development, and purpose-driven growth. The occasion gathered industry leaders, community partners, and employees, culminating in a ceremonial lighting of the company’s building signage, symbolizing both reflection and forward momentum.
Since establishing its presence in 2011, RELX has steadily evolved from a base focused on editorial and content work into a dynamic hub delivering services across the full value chain. Today, it employs more than 6,000 highly skilled Filipino professionals specializing in technology, analytics, and domain expertise. These teams support global industries ranging from legal and healthcare to aviation, insurance, and financial services—demonstrating how local talent has become integral to international operations.
The company’s growth extends beyond Metro Manila, with operations now spanning Iloilo, Alabang, Cebu, and Davao. This nationwide footprint reflects a broader commitment to decentralizing opportunities and enabling Filipino professionals to thrive across regions. Such sustained expansion has not gone unnoticed. In 2026, RELX earned a spot among the Philippines’ Best Employers by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Statista, breaking into the Top 50 for the first time while maintaining its presence on the list for three consecutive years.
At the heart of RELX’s success is its investment in people. Through its internal learning platform, One RELX University, employees are equipped with tools to grow across disciplines—from artificial intelligence and data science to leadership and business strategy. Certifications in Agile, Six Sigma, robotic process automation, and information security further enhance their capabilities, ensuring that Filipino talent remains globally competitive.
This commitment to development extends beyond the workplace. Through RELX Cares, the company’s corporate social responsibility program, it continues to invest in education and community upliftment. In partnership with Kapatid Kita Mahal Kita Foundation, RELX has pledged PHP4.3 million for 2026 initiatives aimed at supporting disadvantaged students. The collaboration has already produced tangible outcomes, with several scholars transitioning into professional roles within the company—bridging education and employment in meaningful ways.
RELX’s work in the Philippines also plays a critical role in powering global solutions. Its teams contribute to platforms that support medical research, enhance legal systems, and strengthen fraud detection capabilities worldwide. These contributions underscore a guiding philosophy: technology holds its greatest value when it serves a clear human purpose.
Recognition for this approach continues to grow. In 2025, RELX was named the #3 Top Inspiring Workplace in Asia by the Inspiring Workplaces Group, earning special recognition for its culture and purpose—further affirming its reputation as an employer that prioritizes both performance and people.
As RELX looks ahead, its direction remains firmly rooted in its founding principles. The company continues to focus on advancing digital and analytics capabilities, nurturing leadership grounded in service, and building future-ready Filipino talent. More importantly, it aims to strengthen its role as a long-term partner in the country’s progress.
Fifteen years on, RELX’s story in the Philippines is not just about corporate success—it is about creating opportunities, shaping careers, and contributing to a broader vision of national growth driven by knowledge, innovation, and shared purpose.
