This site is our full online CR report and is structured around our six key responsibilities: the six social and environmental issues that we feel are important for Experian and which we have most influence over. Agreed by our Board in early 2007 they are the foundation of our reporting and strategy.
In our first full year of trading as an independent company we have been focused on how to embed these responsibilities and make them part of the day-to-day business. We’ve also been looking at how we harness some of the opportunities that come from addressing social, environmental and ethical issues. Our evolving CR strategy encapsulates our progress and is driving the direction for the coming year.
Another landmark of this year has been the acquisition of Serasa in Brazil. A very successful company and the fourth largest credit reference agency in the world, Serasa is a global leader in sustainability and CR thinking. We have been learning from each other and are involving their management team in the leadership of CR across our regions.
Our CR management team has been strengthened with the addition of two new senior managers and has been instrumental in the evolution of our CR strategy, which has been approved by the Experian Board. We’ve set objectives for the 2009 fiscal year and are already making progress towards achieving them. As we progress we will report achievements through our Group website to enable interested stakeholders to engage with us.
We continue to be listed in the FTSE4Good Index, and were for the first time this year included in the Dow Jones Global Sustainability Index, but we know we can do more and focus on further improving our performance.
