target which covers our scope emissions can be found on p5-6).
Going forward we will define and build out reporting targets and metrics relating to climate change risk mitigation and opportunities.
Businesses increasingly recognise that they have a responsibility to a wide range of stakeholders – customers, local communities, the environment, colleagues and of course shareholders.
At the company level, it means that we have to identify and manage our impacts on the environment and people, and consciously act to leave a positive footprint.
There’s no doubt that society needs to rapidly reduce carbon emissions and we all need to make some big decisions in how best to do this.
In particular, we’re certainly alive to the emissions that happen when people consume our products, including when they travel to events.
We need to create enough value for our customers to make their travel worthwhile, and work to improve the environmental impacts when they do.
This includes working with others to reduce emissions and ensuring we maximise the amount of travel consolidation that happens through our events.
For example, we’re a founding partner of the Net Zero Events Pledge, an industry initiative with organisations each committing to eliminating their global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
One further important focus in was to align our climate reporting with the requirements of the Taskforce on Climaterelated Financial Disclosures (TCFD), building on a lot of work and thinking we have already undertaken on climate impacts.
As the co-chair of the Climate Impacts Steering Committee, I am pleased with the progress we have made in this important area, which is summarised in our first Climate Impacts report.
The continued progress we made through this can be achieved, and we can deliver on our FasterForward goals, whilst also improving the wider sustainability practices in the industries we work in, promote sustainable development in the markets where we operate and, through our large scale B2B events, act as a highly effi...
Moving faster to become a zero waste and net zero carbon business.
Where we work in a specialist or local community, we can partner with them and invest in ways that help them succeed and create more positive impacts in turn.
Our business model, and the nature of the knowledge and information economy in which we operate, provides some degree of resilience from this crisis.
Colleagues from across the business have worked together to identify climate change impacts for Informa.
In this section, we explain our progress towards our net zero carbon ambitions through managing our own energy usage, purchasing renewable power and working in partnership with others to help shift our value chain to a low carbon model.
As a business that champions the specialist and connects people with networks and knowledge, we can play a part in supporting our markets’ transition to a low carbon economy, and in helping to solve some of the world’s biggest environmental and social challenges.
Over the past few years, Taylor & Francis has accelerated its programme of creating a more efficient and sustainable print supply chain and reduced its carbon emissions by around 30%.
This helps us compensate for our unavoidable emissions while we work on taking these reductions further.
• Donating unused book stock to BookAid and Amnesty International, avoiding waste and contributing to the wider sharing of knowledge.
Boca Raton The remaining carbon emissions from our printed products and supply chain are calculated and compensated for through the purchase of high-quality certified carbon offsets.
This analysis and tracking of our carbon emissions provides us with information to help us work with our suppliers, customers and partners to take reductions further.
In the meantime, the carbon offsets we buy support verified carbon reduction or removal projects around the world and other UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to health, wellbeing, conservation and poverty eradication.

In 2020 and 2021, emissions from commuting reduced significantly due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions but this was balanced by increased home working emissions as we adopted a balanced working model.
By engaging colleagues in climate change topics, we hope to help them reduce these emissions.
We aim to reduce our other emissions from areas such as office and books and journals production waste but are focusing on our more material areas listed above.
It has also lowered our energy consumption onsite and emissions from commuting – but had increased home working emissions.
We continue to generate electricity from solar panels at two of our offices.
In Boulder office generated 245 MWh, supplying 62% of the building’s overall electricity consumption.

USA: American Grasslands (CAR(creating financial incentives for conserving valuable grasslands, supporting rare and endangered endemic species and storing CO2.
We use an established global process to purchase Energy Attribution Certificates (EACs) from renewable electricity producers.
This allows us to match electricity usage with certificated renewable electricity generation and creates additional incentives for power generation companies to invest in renewable power.
To compensate for the emissions we can’t yet avoid, we help others reduce or remove emissions through high quality certified carbon offset projects.
In addition to the residual emissions from our offices, we also offset our business travel, fleet and home working emissions.
We recognise that offsets are not a permanent solution, but they have a role to play in our journey to net zero and are used only where we cannot currently avoid emissions.
(UK): Sustainability is an integral part of this ongoing office refurbishment that will allow us to improve energy efficiency and space utilisation.

distributing and maintaining solar lighting and charging systems, and clean biomass cookstoves, to thousands of rural households across India.
This is based on the idea that by working together the media industry has a unique ability to drive up climate friendly behaviour, and reduce emissions.
The first commitment of the Media Climate Pact is to reduce emissions and move towards net zero emissions.
These include reaching net zero by biodiversity; educating our colleagues; and using our expertise, platform and voice to raise awareness and drive positive climate action wherever we can.
We have helped with the development of a carbon calculator for the industry and a materials matrix, enabling publishers to incorporate environmental factors in their product design and manufacturing decisions by sharing our knowledge and experience.
Throughout scalability, accessibility and particularly the lower environmental impact of digital products.
But with our growth in digital offerings, it’s important to increase our understanding of the climate change impacts of the production, storage, transfer and use by customers of these digital products.
Measuring and reducing these digital emissions, particularly from user devices and the internet backbone, is notoriously difficult but increasingly important as Informa expands its digital presence.
It’s also important that we do this consistently across the industry and that we work together to influence our suppliers and customers to help us all reduce the carbon footprint of digital products.
We’ve teamed up with peers from the Responsible Media Forum to identify, take action and find a solution for social and environmental challenges.
Together we seek to better understand and manage the carbon footprint of digital content.
DIMPACTS has crowd-funded experts at the UK’s University of Bristol to develop an online tool that uses the best available approaches to more consistently and accurately calculate the carbon emissions of the downstream value chain of digital media content, including publishing, video streaming, advertising and intellig...
This gives us greater insight into the emissions intensity of various stages of our value chain so we can target actions to reduce them.
Our next steps are to increase the rigour of the approach, partner with others to encourage our suppliers to get better data, and expand the research and tool to calculate the footprint for digital events so that we have a more complete footprint for our business.
In Stands programme as one of the most significant programmes to help us halve our events’ waste by 2025.
The choice by exhibitors to use disposable stands at events has long been a major source of waste for the events industry.
This means that more than including many of our largest and highest profile events, are actively working on eliminating our biggest source of waste.
Our Better Stands initiative will save thousands of tonnes of waste each year.
We believe if everyone comes together, events in the near future really can be waste-free.
Surprisingly for some, digital events can still be a source of waste, albeit less than physical events.
We’ve worked with our events teams to identify and reduce all possible waste sources, such as physical stage background signage, printed materials or promotional items sent to attendees.
To reduce items that may go to waste, branded items are only produced once ordered so there is no left-over inventory.
We aim to understand environmental and social challenges in the markets that we serve, to identify our potential role in developing and sharing solutions, and to be a catalyst for sustainable development.
Our customers see us as the authoritative voice in the industry and we can help them learn more, know more and do more to adapt to the new green shipping landscape.
