Our policy

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.

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 System.

We intend to reduce our environmental impacts through improvements in:

  • Energy use / Resource consumption
  • Waste reduction, including the disposal of goods
  • Recycling initiatives, including office paper schemes
  • Business and commuter travel
  • Our use of high impact coolants and refrigerants
  • Purchasing and contract management
  • Selected staff training and communication on environmental issues

Experian has identified a number of significant aspects which include:

Global Environmental Policy

This year we have further developed our environmental policy and gained buy-in on a global basis. The policy is a long term document that guides creation of our annual objectives, which will build toward major achievements.

The normal expectations of compliance with all relevant legislation, voluntary codes of practice, and minimising use of natural resources are expressed explicitly.  We are also targeting ourselves to design energy efficiency into new services, buildings and facilities. Experian works continuously to improve the engagement of our people. We expect suppliers and contractors to comply with our standards and we are implementing an environmentally sensitive purchasing policy.

Setting objectives, measuring performance, reporting progress and communicating about our efforts are all covered.  We undertake to review the policy annually to ensure we are in line with best practice.

Serasa follows a slightly different approach, currently having its own environmental policy.  Its prime objectives are to:

  • Contribute toward nature preservation;

  • Optimise the use of natural resources;

  • Reduce waste generation.
