Assessment Standard
Our work was performed to a ‘limited’ level of assurance in accordance with International
Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements
Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, and in accordance withInternational Standard on Assurance Engagements 3410 - ‘Assurance Engagements onGreenhouse Gas Statements’ (‘ISAE 3410’), issued by the International Auditing andAssurance Standards Board.
Summary of work performedAs part of its independent verification, Bureau Veritas undertook the following activities:
1. Conducted interviews with relevant personnel of Informa;
2. Carried out three virtual site visits in the UK, USA and Dubai;
3. Carried out remote assessments of four offices in China, Thailand, Brazil and USA;
4. Reviewed the data collection and consolidation processes used to compile theSelected Information, including assessing assumptions made, the data scope andreporting boundaries;
5. Reviewed documentary evidence produced by Informa including the Accuvio global
information system used for monitoring, analysing and reporting energy, GHG, waste
and water data;
6. Reviewed a sample of the Selected Information with the corresponding source
documentation; and7. Re-performed aggregation calculations of the Selected Information.
The scope of a limited assurance engagement is substantially less than for reasonableassurance both in terms of the risk assessment procedures and in performing the procedures
to address the identified risks.
