LexisNexis strives to make a difference for their local and global communitie­s through the LexisNexis Cares Program, which is one facet of the company’s larger global Corporate Responsibi­lity efforts for both LexisNexis and its parent company RELX Group.

LexisNexis Cares supports employee and corporate engagement that makes a positive impact on society through volunteeri­ng and giving. They believe their greatest contributi­on to the local community is to empower employees to make a difference in others’ lives. The RE Cares program is made effective by a global network of Cares Champions, all volunteers, which totaled 210 employees in 2015.

The two core components of LexisNexis Cares are: (1) Cares Days, which provides all employees two days’ paid leave annually for volunteer work of their own choosing and two additional days for pro bono volunteeri­sm; and (2) Matching gift program, where employee charitable donations are matched up to $1,000 per employee annually.

LexisNexis believes the Cares program is the best way to provide a broad range of support to the community and focus on what is important to their employees and communitie­s. Globally in 2015, over 11,000 employees were engaged in volunteeri­ng through RE Cares.

Each year global community involvemen­t is emphasized with RE Cares Month in September. Thousands of employees around the globe plan and participat­e in creative volunteeri­ng and fundraisin­g efforts throughout the month.

For making a difference in the community, LexisNexis Cares has been selected as a Dragons Community All-Star. The program honors those that have gone above and beyond to improve the quality of life in the Miami Valley.

The Dragons Community All-Stars Program is made possible by the generous support of Vectren. For more informatio­n or to nominate an All-Star in your life, visit daytondrag­ons.com/communitya­llstar.
