Introduction
At Informa, one of our Group-wide Guiding Principles
is Success is a Partnership.
And the fact it is a company Guiding Principle reflects
how important we consider our partners and partnerships
to be.
Across our business, we seek to connect people withknowledge in a multitude of locations and in manydifferent ways.
Whether it is part of delivering critical clinical trial datato pharmaceutical companies, publishing the latest
cutting-edge research in education, organising a largescale exhibition to connect companies in the health andnutrition industry, creating a week-long virtual event to
inform cyber security professionals or keeping our offices
safe and welcoming, we rely on a wide range of partners
to support our colleagues and ensure our customers’
success.
For us, successful partnerships are based on close
collaboration, trust, accountability and sharing the samevalues and goals.

We seek to operate a sustainable, long-term-oriented
business focused on quality, integrity and serving ourcustomers and communities, and we want to work withpartners who have the same view of success.
Partners who share the same commitments to treating
their colleagues fairly, equally and with respect. Who seek
to create a positive impact on the environment and thecommunities they work in. Who practice ethical businessand treat information responsibly. And who, above all,comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
This Code – How to work with Informa - sets out thoseprinciples and our expectations which, we hope, are what
any partner would seek to do and achieve in their own
business too.
We welcome questions and conversations from our business
partners, on this or any other matter, as we work together
to uphold these principles, deliver on our commitments andcontinuously improve what we do and deliver.
