We attach great importance to working in ways that are sustainable and have regard for the needs of tomorrow as well as those of today. In practical terms this translates into programmes and policies that provide care for the people working inside our organisation and living around it, as well as minimising the impact on the wider environment. There is no aspect of corporate policy that is not touched by this thinking and health, safety and sustainable environmental practice are fundamental to the way we do business.

Caring for the environment and adding value to a business are entirely compatible. We believe that recognising the importance of this can impact positively on profitability, reputation and growth. At Board level, the finance director is responsible for all responsible business matters including those relating to health, safety and environment.

IMI has been selected as a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index having demonstrated a high level of responsible business practice across a wide range of demanding criteria. Membership of the index places IMI amongst the top 20% of all major industrial/engineering companies across the globe.

IMI has again met the corporate responsibility criteria for the FTSE4Good Index Series 2010 and you can read more about our performance in the performance section of this site.
