Correction: Reed Elsevier

In our April story about corporate responsibility champions [Employee engagement – Let the champions reign] we stated that Reed Elsevier’s green teams have 4,000 members and are based in all the company’s locations worldwide. We would like to clarify that Reed’s green teams have 400 members in three-quarters of its key locations. We would also like to clarify that Mark Gough heads the company’s central environmental team, not its central corporate responsibility team as we stated in the article.
