Environment – carbon offsetting

Offsetting our remaining emissions
We have a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030
and have set a science-based target, verified by the
SBTI, in order to deliver on this.
As explained in the previous slides, we have a wide
range of activities taking place across the company in
order to deliver this including reducing the footprint of
our buildings and data centres, switching to using more
renewable energy, engaging with our supply chain, and
reducing the carbon impact of business travel.
We are very clear that reducing our emissions is our
priority in order to deliver on our carbon neutral
commitment.
However in order to reach our carbon neutral
commitment we are also investing in high-quality
carbon offsetting projects to offset any remaining
emissions.
We have a target to carbon offset 100% of scope 1 & 2
emissions by 2025.
We offset 20% of remaining scope 1&2 emissions in
FY21, 40% in FY22, 60% in FY23, and will offset 80%
for FY24 and 100% for FY25.
Experian Public
Our requirements for offsets
1) Be certified by recognised carbon standard, e.g.
Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), and the carbon credit
is retired and removed from the governing registry for
each reporting year.
2) Preferably be certified to a Gold level with the
Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Standard.
3) Preferably a community-based project that supports
our sustainable business strategic priority of Improving
Financial Health for all.
4) Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) that our business supports:
o 1.4 - No Poverty;
。 8.10 - Decent Work and Economic Growth;
o 9.3 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
5) Preferably projects are located within a geography
where Experian operates, and where the current lack
of infrastructure would prevent us from achieving
carbon reductions locally.

Our carbon offsetting project
We have invested in a Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)
offsetting project in Kenya that not only avoids carbon
emissions, but also supports climate adaptation,
promotes biodiversity, brings added value to
communities and contributes to 11 SDGs
The Kasigau REDD+ Project Phase II - The
Community Ranches - from Wildlife Works is the first
project in the world to issue REDD+ carbon offsets
under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) standard.
Also certified with Climate, Community and Biodiversity
(CCB) Gold Level.
The Kasigau corridor in Kenya runs between two
wildlife parks, the Tsavo East and Tsavo West national
parks. It is threatened by farmers chopping down trees
to clear the land for cattle and by illegal poaching.
The project aims to protect more than 500,000 acres of
Kenyan forests under threat from cattle farming by
providing communities with alternative income
opportunities, training wilderness guardians, and
securing a wildlife migration corridor between the
Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks.
This project itself has expanded to protect over
500,000 acres, which includes the protection of over 50
species of large mammals, 20 species of bats and over
300 species of birds. The project also protects a variety
of IUCN Red Listed species including over 2,000
African elephants.View entire presentation
