An active community programme

Experian’s resources – both its financial strength and its people – can make a real difference to the community. Other sections of this report have shown how our products and services benefit charities, public sector organisations and the community as a whole. In addition to this we have an active programme of community engagement in the UK, and US and we are beginning to identify activities in the Nordic businesses.

So who are our communities? We can answer that question in a number of ways:

• The first and most obvious answer is the community of people living around our premises. While we are a global business, our operations are inevitably concentrated in a number of Cities: Costa Mesa (CA), Schaumburg (IL) and Allen (TX), in the US; Nottingham and London in the UK; Paris and Aix in France; and Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, where we are headquartered. As we support local community groups and charities in many of these locations, we are playing a part in ensuring thriving healthy cities and raising our profile as a major part of the economy and community.
  
  
• We are also a part of the national community and – ultimately – a global one. We support national and international initiatives and charities that work all over the world.
  
  
• We can also define a number of specialist communities of which Experian is a member; for example the financial services community, and the community of organisations and individuals active in data protection, credit and lending and marketing. Experian also supports these specialist groups in a number of very important ways.
