Informa’s match-funding system doubled the total of £16,375 raised or donated by staff. Informa has offices globally, including one in Tokyo and all staff there were safe after the disaster.
Alongside financial donations, innovative responses from staff included a number donating their £500 prize money after winning an Informa Award for excellence at work; T&F UK IT donating the profit after selling old IT equipment; Informa Investment Solutions in the US raising money by selling cookbooks compiled of recipes from an event and ESI, Huthwaite, T&F Boca Raton and IIR UK raising money through bake sales.
