GRI Index for Informa PLC
For the year ending 31 December 2023
Introduction
Becoming an ever more sustainable, positive impact business is an important part of Informa’s business strategy, and over the last decade, wehave been progressively building capability and expertise around ESG and sustainability.
In 2020, we launched FasterForward, a structured programme to accelerate the pace and scope of our activities over a five year period,
including a series of commitments and targets. Under this programme, we are reporting our activity and sharing information under the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI), to better assist investors and other stakeholders understand our work and performance.
This Index accompanies our 2023 Annual Report and Sustainability Report. A detailed explanation of the indicators is available on the GRI
website. We have also mapped each indicator against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where applicable.
