===Support for fossil fuel expansion=== An article in ''[[The Guardian]]'' in February 2022 revealed that Elsevier products and services support expanding the production aims of the fossil fuel industry. The company disclosed that it is "not prepared to draw a line between the transition away from fossil fuels and the expansion of oil and gas extraction."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Revealed: leading climate research publisher helps fuel oil and gas drilling |url= https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/24/elsevier-publishing-climate-science-fossil-fuels|date=24 February 2022|access-date=1 October 2022}}</ref> In response, the Union of Concerned Scientists and Scientists for Global Responsibility launched a petition in 2022, and issued a response to the company's reply in 2023. UCS noted in a blog post that "Elsevier and RELX claimed to be focused on a transition to clean energy. Given the services Elsevier and RELX continue to provide, these claims are demonstrably false."<ref>{{cite web|author=Union of Concerned Scientists|title=Elsevier and RELX's Climate Problem|url=https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/elsevier-and-relxs-climate-problem|date=19 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926113537/https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/elsevier-and-relxs-climate-problem|archive-date=26 September 2023}}</ref> Scientists for Global Responsibility also noted on their website that the company's "actions fall short of meeting the standards set in their own pledges"<ref>{{cite web|author=Scientists for Global Responsibility|title=Elsevier is still enabling high-carbon emitters|url=https://www.sgr.org.uk/resources/elsevier-still-enabling-high-carbon-emitters|date=19 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231014015047/https://www.sgr.org.uk/resources/elsevier-still-enabling-high-carbon-emitters|archive-date=14 October 2023}}</ref> and pointed campaigners to the website of Climate Rights Coalition,<ref>{{cite web|author=Climate Rights Coalition|title=Climate Rights Coalition homepage | url=https://www.climaterightscoalition.com/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231012185403/https://www.climaterightscoalition.com/|archive-date=12 October 2023}}</ref> which revealed such concerns had been raised by employees years prior.<ref>{{cite web|author=Climate Rights Coalition|title=Climate Rights Coalition advocacy page |url=https://www.climaterightscoalition.com/advocacy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231017013259/https://www.climaterightscoalition.com/advocacy|archive-date=17 October 2023}}</ref>
