| Experian recognises that our
day-to-day operations and other responsibilities
impact on the environment in a number of ways.
We are committed to achieving continuous improvement
in environmental performance and to preventing
pollution.
Improving our environmental performance in all
our operations is a major priority. We will introduce
aspects of our ISO 14001 policy to our worldwide
estate.
Policy We will:
Integrate environmental management into each
aspect of our day-to-day business operations to
ensure environmental issues are addressed.
Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation,
and voluntary or corporate adopted policies (including
this policy statement). Where no regulations exist
we shall set our own exacting standards.
Minimise the environmental impacts of current
activities, products and services
Seek to reduce our use of natural resources such
as energy, water and raw materials, maximise the
efficient use of such resources, and reuse rather
than dispose whenever possible, promote recycling
and the use of recycled materials.
Where possible, design energy efficiency into
new services, buildings and products and manage
energy wisely in all operations, in order to prevent
unnecessary environmental impacts in the future.
Ensure effective communication to employees to
improve awareness of the Policy and understanding
of their responsibilities in relation to it.
Encourage the implementation of sound environmental
practices by all people within the organisation.
Ensure that suppliers and contractors minimise
the impact of their operations on the environment
and actively support our environmental programmes
through an environmentally sensitive purchasing
policy.
Openly communicate progress on environmental
issues to internal and external parties.
Monitor progress on a regular basis to identify
strengths and areas for improvement and to highlight
actions required preventing potential deficiencies.
Environmental performance will be reported annually
as part of the Experian annual report.
In particular, in order to implement this policy
we will address a comprehensive set of objectives
and targets identified as a result of our environmental
review, which relate to the environmental impacts
of our organisation.
Ensure that this policy is available to the public
via our Website.
Review this policy at least annually and after
any change in business activity, to ensure its
continued suitability and to reflect the continued
improvement made in our Environmental Management
