Our Guiding Principles

Our four guiding principles are a clear statement of what we believe in.

Taken together, they define our goals and provide a focus for all Informa’s activities. The principles give a perspective on our culture and way of working, making the company easier to understand, trust and do business with.

Think big. Act small. We love ambitious thinking and taking bold options. At the same time, we recognize that success also comes from rolling up our sleeves, sweating the details, and taking personal ownership of the things that matter.

Trust must be earned. We don’t just say we’re specialists, we live and breathe the subjects we work in and the communities we work with. By getting closer to our customers and partners, and offering support every step of the way, we build trust and the confidence to rely on us to do the right things, in the right way.

Success is a partnership. We get better answers by combining skills and talents, joining forces, and embracing ideas, wherever they come from. This broadens perspectives, expands horizons, sparks innovation, and keeps our thinking fresh.

More freedom. Fewer barriers. We are light on our feet. We do things swiftly, flexibly and with as few obstacles as possible. Our colleagues have the freedom and autonomy to think fast, act on opportunities and do what is best and most sustainable for us and our customers.
