Working toward a truly sustainable future is one of the most pressing issues of the modern age. It transcends borders and impacts us all, which is why IMC is putting environmental, social, and governance considerations at the forefront of our strategic growth plans.
At IMC, success is about more than just profit. Having a positive impact on the world is a top-level strategic commitment. We seek to operate in a responsible, sustainable manner and have implemented ambitious plans to preserve the environment, ensure employee well-being, and help local communities to thrive.
As we continue to grow, we remain steadfast in our pledge to do so in a way that reduces the negative impacts of our activities on the environment.
We have adopted the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a common framework to help take ambitious steps toward a fairer and more sustainable world. We’ve identified seven key SDGs where we believe we can make the most meaningful contribution.
4.1. By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.
4.3. By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational, and tertiary education, including university.
4.4. By 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs, and entrepreneurship.
4.5. By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, and children in vulnerable situations.
4.6. By 2030, ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy.
