A well-governed business

Corporate governance at IHS is built into the framework of the company's internal procedures, practices and activities. This ensures that controls are in place to protect the reputation of our customers and investors along with our own – a reputation that is built on performance, transparency, efficiency and quality of service delivery.

Further proof of our commitment to self-regulation is the external governance controls that the Board and management adhere to, ensuring that the appropriate check and balances are in place, and to reinforce transparency at all levels.

We stand by our action, remembering that we are responsible to our clients, partners, lenders, each other, our employees, shareholders and the communities we operate in.

We have come together as an organization to achieve defined goals and this remains the focal point for the use of time and resources.

Our activities have an impact on our clients, investors, on society at large, on the environment and on the company itself. We're committed to ensuring this impact is as positive as possible.

Everything we do and say must be fair and right, every time.
