###### The process for identifying, assessing and managing climate related risks is integrated into Informa's wider risk management process, and the Group Sustainability team works closely with the Group Risk function to define, monitor and address the impacts of climate change.

As discussed in earlier sections, climate change has been reported as an emerging risk since 2018 but is not currently considered a principal risk for the Group. It is recognised and monitored as one of several potential contributors to a number of principal risks, including market risk, inability to attract and retain key talent, inadequate response to major incidents and inadequate regulatory compliance. Principal risks are assessed against whether they could have a material strategic or commercial impact on the company, and where significant, they form part of the Company's viability modelling and testing.

As an emerging risk, our ongoing analysis of climate change is formally brought before the Risk Committee each year for discussion and updates. This committee is chaired by our Group Finance Director who sits on our Executive Management Team and on the Board. A discussion of our management of the impacts of climate change is a recurrent theme for the Risk Committee each year.

The Informa PLC Board is responsible for articulating the Group's appetite and tolerance for risk, and for assessing principal risks and the mitigating activities and controls in place to manage them.

The Risk Committee reports to the Board through the Audit Committee and is chaired by the Group Finance Director, an Executive Director on the Board. It meets quarterly and has responsibility for assessing emerging risks. As such, the impacts and management of climate change risk are a regular item for Committee discussion throughout the year.

Within the Group, risks are identified by each of our operating divisions and Group functions and presented to the Risk Committee. Risks are then analysed and categorised, and those identified as most significant, in terms of their materiality, are recorded on the Group risk register. Our current focus includes ensuring that climate change impacts are considered consistently and appropriately as part of each division's risk assessment.

We identify climate impacts through internal workshops, joining peer group discussions, input from consultants and ongoing horizon scanning of external trends and internal data. We model impacts in different regions where appropriate and practical: for example, where physical risks or customer sentiment varies by location. We review our impacts annually.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]We ensure that all divisions across all geographies do not lobby governments on climate policies through our Code of Conduct which applies to all colleagues at Informa, around the world, including consultants and contractors, and is also relevant to the businesses that we choose to partner with.
As indicated in our Code of Conduct: "Informa does not make donations to political parties, candidates or campaigns in any of the countries in which we operate. We do not engage in lobbying on our own behalf. Where we are members of any broader industry associations, these will engage with governments as representatives of industry views, and not for a single issue." The engagement with the trade associations mentioned in this section is led by the Group Sustainability team. Its aim is to improve the sustainability performance of the whole industry.

We also communicate our climate change strategy internally through the Informa intranets which provide a platform for information sharing, discussion, case studies, awards etc related to climate change, and the company's global commitments to both carbon reduction and sharing best practice in the company's markets.
