Notes:
(a) Indicates that the emissions of these categories were primarily calculated by EcoAct in 2019 and 2022 using CEDA emission factors. Values for 2020–2021 were estimated from the 2019 calculations, and 2023 values were estimated from the 2022 calculations.
In 2025, we updated our methodology for calculating Category 1 - Purchased good & services and Category 2 - Capital goods. The most recent spend-based US EEIO supply chain emissions factors were applied. As a result, the data for 2024 and 2019 (rebaseline) have been restated.
(b) In 2024, our data presentation has been updated to reflect changes in calculation methodologies on Sphera. Transmission and distribution losses, along with well-to-tank (indirect) emissions for electricity, are now presented as a combined value. Conversely, fuels energy maintains a separate well-to-tank figure.
In 2025, we have restated the 2024 data for electricity (indirect) and transmission & distribution losses due to a system error identified in the previously published data.
(c) In 2024, we have updated our methodology and adopted the DIMPACT tool to estimate emissions from customer use of digital products and services, applying it to our T&F business from 2019.
In 2025, we’ve simplified the calculation methodology by using the average carbon intensity per e-books and journals downloaded and multiplied by the number of downloads and article, whole book, or chapter views during the reporting year. The average intensity metric is calculated using 2019-2024’s data.
(d) Offsets reflect emissions data at the time of compensation. Subsequent updates to historical data may cause differences with current Scope 1 & 2 market-based totals.
(e) We have recalculated the 2019 data as a rebaseline, incorporating all recent acquisitions, inlcuding Tarsus, Ascential and TechTarget for a like-for-like comparision.
(f) In 2023, the Colleagues data excludes businesses acquired by Informa during the year.
All turnover figures include colleagues who left Informa as part of a business divestment.
(g) In 2023, the colleague figures utilised in the calculation of the environmental related intensity metric include headcounts from businesses acquired by Informa during the year.
(h) The data was estimated for 2020 and 2021.
Data marked with a (*) has been independently assured by Bureau Veritas. Their assurance statements are available here: https://www.informa.com/sustainability/sustainability-reports/
Our reporting methodology is available at: https://www.informa.com/sustainability-methodology
Where accuracy improvements have been made, some earlier data has been restated.
The totals for 2023 environmental data include Tarsus and Winsight from the date of acquisition.
The totals for 2024 environmental data include Ascential and Informa TechTarget from the date of acquisition.

Notes:
(a) Indicates that the emissions of these categories were primarily calculated by EcoAct in 2019 and 2022 using CEDA emission factors. Values for 2020–2021 were estimated from the 2019 calculations, and 2023 values were estimated from the 2022 calculations.
In 2025, we updated our methodology for calculating Category 1 - Purchased good & services and Category 2 - Capital goods. The most recent spend-based US EEIO supply chain emissions factors were applied. As a result, the data for 2024 and 2019 (rebaseline) have been restated.
(b) In 2024, our data presentation has been updated to reflect changes in calculation methodologies on Sphera. Transmission and distribution losses, along with well-to-tank (indirect) emissions for electricity, are now presented as a combined value. Conversely, fuels energy maintains a separate well-to-tank figure.
In 2025, we have restated the 2024 data for electricity (indirect) and transmission & distribution losses due to a system error identified in the previously published data.
(c) In 2024, we have updated our methodology and adopted the DIMPACT tool to estimate emissions from customer use of digital products and services, applying it to our T&F business from 2019.
In 2025, we’ve simplified the calculation methodology by using the average carbon intensity per e-books and journals downloaded and multiplied by the number of downloads and article, whole book, or chapter views during the reporting year. The average intensity metric is calculated using 2019-2024’s data.
(d) Offsets reflect emissions data at the time of compensation. Subsequent updates to historical data may cause differences with current Scope 1 & 2 market-based totals.
(e) We have recalculated the 2019 data as a rebaseline, incorporating all recent acquisitions, inlcuding Tarsus, Ascential and TechTarget for a like-for-like comparision.
(f) In 2023, the Colleagues data excludes businesses acquired by Informa during the year.
All turnover figures include colleagues who left Informa as part of a business divestment.
(g) In 2023, the colleague figures utilised in the calculation of the environmental related intensity metric include headcounts from businesses acquired by Informa during the year.
(h) The data was estimated for 2020 and 2021.
Data marked with a (*) has been independently assured by Bureau Veritas. Their assurance statements are available here: https://www.informa.com/sustainability/sustainability-reports/
Our reporting methodology is available at: https://www.informa.com/sustainability-methodology
Where accuracy improvements have been made, some earlier data has been restated.
The totals for 2023 environmental data include Tarsus and Winsight from the date of acquisition.
The totals for 2024 environmental data include Ascential and Informa TechTarget from the date of acquisition.
