Positional statements of a descriptive or interpretative nature, or of opinion, belief,
aspiration or commitment to undertake future actions;▪

The appropriateness of Informa’s Reporting Criteria for the Selected Information; and▪

Other information included in the Report other than the Selected Information.

The following limitations should be noted:▪

This limited assurance engagement relies on a risk based selected sample ofsustainability data and the associated limitations that this entails.

▪

The reliability of the reported data is dependent on the accuracy of metering andother production measurement arrangements employed at site level, not addressedas part of this assurance.

▪

This independent statement should not be relied upon to detect all errors, omissions
or misstatements that may exist.

▪

A non-material (<1%) variance was identified in the consolidated value of Spend ontraining, derived from different data management sources, which appears to relate tocurrency exchange rate fluctuations.

▪

For Scope 3 GHG emissions, two different conventions are used in the Sustainability
Report and KPI Summary Table for statement of values, one rounding to the nearest
500, the other rounding to the nearest tonne, respectively.

5. Responsibilities
This preparation and presentation of the Selected Information in the Report are the sole
responsibility of the management of Informa.
Bureau Veritas was not involved in the drafting of the Report or of the Reporting Criteria. Our
responsibilities were to:•obtain limited assurance about whether the Selected Information has been preparedin accordance with the Reporting Criteria;•form an independent conclusion based on the assurance procedures performed andevidence obtained; and•report our conclusions to the Directors of Informa.

6. Assessment Standard
We performed our work 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 (effective for assurance reports
dated on or after December 15, 2015), issued by the International Auditing and AssuranceStandards Board.

1. Conducting virtual interviews with relevant personnel of Informa responsible forcompiling and reporting the Selected Information at Group level ;2. Undertaking two remote site interviews at UK London Blackfriars and US BocaRaton;

documentation;
6. Reviewing Informa systems for quantitative data aggregation and analysis, including
confirmation of selected calculation inputs with a relevant third party;
7. Reperforming a selection of aggregation and conversions calculations of theSelected Information; and8. Assessing the disclosure and presentation of the Selected Information to ensure
consistency with assured information.
A 5% materiality threshold was applied to this assurance. It should be noted that theprocedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, andare less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level ofassurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than theassurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement beenperformed.
8. Conclusion
On the basis of our methodology and the activities and limitations described above nothing
has come to our attention to indicate that the Selected Information is not fairly stated in allmaterial respects.
