Responsible business

Our Code of Conduct sets out how we should think and act to make good choices, act with integrity and uphold our high business standards. Committing to doing the right thing is central to our purpose of delivering Breakthrough engineering for a better world.

Our Board approved Code aims to ensure that we maintain high ethical standards and protect our reputation. It is distributed to all our people and available on our website. Our Code outlines the standards expected from us by our stakeholders and what we expect from our people, business partners and third parties.

We are committed to robust, accurate data and transparent sustainability reporting. This is our third year reporting in accordance with GRI standards. We maintain a comprehensive mapping between GRI Standards and ESRS requirements to ensure robust disclosure and prepare for future ESRS reporting. Our website features an index mapping our material items against required GRI disclosures for transparency.

We foster a culture where individuals feel comfortable reporting concerns in good faith, assured that their concerns will be addressed appropriately and without retaliation. Our Code training encourages all employees to report any incidents that do not align with our values and behaviours, including concerns about sustainability, human rights, corruption or bribery.

Reports can be made through line managers, senior leaders, or via a confidential, independent hotline that supports anonymous reporting in our core languages. The IMI Hotline can also be used by external third parties such as suppliers and customers.
