Sustainability at Informa Markets

It's our ongoing mission to embed sustainability into everything we do and help our customers and specialist markets do the same. From our operations and business practices, to the knowledge and information we provide to our customers and communities, we’re committed to making a positive impact.

Delivering sustainability, now and into the future

FasterForward

As part of our FasterForward programme, we have committed to a series of specific and ambitious goals and activities that, over a five year period, will help us become an ever more sustainable, high impact business while supporting and accelerating change in our markets.

It commits us to a series of activities between 2020-2025 that will ensure we move FasterForward to become an ever more sustainable, positive impact business.

We are moving FasterForward to embed sustainability into everything we do and help our customers and specialist markets do the same.

Delivering on this will help us champion specialists in new and more engaging ways.

When it comes to sustainability, we’re moving FasterForward.

Impact Multiplier

Multiplying the positive impact we can create when we improve access to knowledge, help people connect more efficiently and invest in our communities

Through the content we provide, we can help connect and inform those who struggle to access knowledge and networks.

When they connect at our events and online, we can help customers be event smarter and more efficient with their time and travel.

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.

This is how, by moving FasterForward, we can multiply our positive impact.
