CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY APPRENTICE
Taylor & Francis Sustainability Apprenticeship Programme

Informa is a leading academic publishing, business intelligence, knowledge, and events business, creating unique content and connectivity for customers all over the world.

It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a member of the FTSE 100.

Taylor & Francis is one of the world's largest publishers of high-quality, peer reviewed scholarly journals, books, e-books and reference works.

We empower learners, thinkers and doers with trusted knowledge that advances research and enriches lives. We bring together diverse people, ideas and opinions to validate and publish the experts, theories and truths that matter. And we've been doing this in an unbroken arc since 1798.

Our purpose is to foster human progress through knowledge.

We strongly believe that this requires us to encourage and examine different ideas and voices, so that any work that meets our exacting levels of quality deserves to be included in our publications.

This requires open minds, the opportunity for robust debate, and the courage to defend perspectives that stand up to scrutiny, even if they conflict with our personal beliefs or values.

Because that's the only way to find the best obtainable version of the truth and, ultimately, foster human progress. If you agree, then we'd love to hear from you.
