Assurance Statement

Pearson commissioned Corporate Citizenship to provide external assurance of its 2011 global environmental data. 2011 report. Their summary statement is detailed below and the full statement can be found in our policies and downloads section of the website

We have reviewed the 2011 global environmental data, including energy use (electricity and fossil fuel), business travel, water use and corporate greenhouse gas emissions for Pearson's operations in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and China in order to verify that the reported data has not been misstated.

Pearson's corporate greenhouse gas emissions have been reviewed in accordance with the World Resources Institute/World Business Council on Sustainable Development Greenhouse Gas Protocol Guidelines (WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol).

Based on the work performed, which is outlined in our full assurance statement available on the Pearson website, nothing has come to our attention to indicate that Pearson's global environmental data is not, in all material respects, appropriately reported.
