Third party benchmarks

GUS was rated by a number of third-party schemes intended to benchmark CR performance. On de-merger some of these ratings carried forward to Experian and some did not. The current status of Experian’s inclusion is as follows:

• FTSE4Good: based on its performance in GUS it will be re-assessed in its own right during 2007. FTSE4Good: is one of the FTSE family of Indices, selecting companies which meet published CR criteria. The analysis is based on data collected by the commercial rating agency EIRiS, with company comment and input.
  
  
• BITC: BITC is a UK business-led NGO, producing an annual Index of Corporate Responsibility. This is based on a comprehensive self-assessment, and is published annually in the Sunday Times newspaper. Experian did not take part in the 2006 Index, which occurred during demerger.
  
  
• Dow Jones Global Sustainability Index: GUS was a member of the DJGSI, but membership did not carry forward to Experian on demerger. Experian will be assessed in its own right during 2007.
