Impax Environmental Markets plc (the "Company")

 

Appointment of Elizabeth Surkovic as a non-executive director

 

Following a comprehensive selection process, conducted using an independent
third-party search firm, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of
Elizabeth ("Liz") Surkovic as an independent non-executive director of the
Company with effect from 1 January 2024.

 

Liz has worked for 30 years in environmental policy making and regulation in
the private and public sectors and is now focussed on the interface of science
and policy. This background and experience provides her with a deep knowledge
of many of the areas supporting environmental technology investments.  During
her career, she has been at the forefront of developing and delivering
environmental policy in Europe and the UK as well as working globally with
groups such as OECD.  She is currently head of policy at the Royal Society
and her work there includes providing solutions on net zero as well as
investigating a range of novel technologies and their impact on humanity. Her
work and teams have won awards and prizes.

 

Prior to working at the Royal Society, she was a senior civil servant for HM
Government in several Departments including the Cabinet Office, BEIS, Defra
and the Government Office for Science. Before joining the civil service, Liz
was a Director of the Chemical Industries Association.

 

She is a continuing policy fellow at University of Cambridge's Centre for
Science and Policy and a member of its admissions board.

 

Liz holds a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from Birmingham University.

 

There is no other information required to be disclosed under section 9.6.13 of
the Listing Rules in respect of Elizabeth Surkovic.

 

Glen Suarez, Chairman of IEM said: "Impax Environmental Markets was launched
in 2000 to offer investors a route into what was then a just beginning but
fast growing area of global equity markets. Since then, we have delivered many
years of attractive returns to our shareholders and have often been cited as
the lead investment trust in the rapidly expanding market for positive impact
investments.  As we continue to develop our business, I believe that Liz will
be able to bring to IEM her many years of policy advisory experience, as the
world's leading economies find themselves forced to de-carbonise in the face
of an accelerating climate and resource crisis."
