Informa, a UK-based company in the Printed matter and recorded media industry, has reported its carbon emissions and set ambitious climate commitments.

For 2025, Informa projects total Scope 1 emissions of 2,635,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of 187,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 457,399,000 kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 include downstream transportation and distribution at 197,315,000 kg CO2e, purchased goods and services at 86,127,000 kg CO2e, and use of sold products at 71,970,000 kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2024, Informa reported Scope 1 emissions of 2,166,000 kg CO2e, and market-based Scope 2 emissions of 159,000 kg CO2e. Certain Scope 3 categories were also disclosed, including business travel at 29,522,000 kg CO2e and employee commute at 7,702,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were 3,286,000 kg CO2e, and market-based Scope 2 emissions were 220,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 business travel at 29,268,000 kg CO2e and employee commute at 6,006,000 kg CO2e.

Informa has committed to significant reductions in its emissions, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to achieve a 55% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using a 2017 base year. Additionally, Informa plans a 20% absolute reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, also from a 2017 base year. These near-term targets are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Informa also has a broader commitment to reaching net zero by 2030 for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
