Supporting Our Customers’ Responsible Business Priorities

We place significant emphasis on helping our customers to meet their own responsible business commitments, from diversity targets to carbon emissions.

Responsibility Highlights

  • We listen to our customers

    Our Indoor Climate business holds a number of customer insight councils in its main markets where customers’ responsible business agendas are discussed. It is increasingly evident that greater energy efficiency has a direct, positive impact on building occupancy rates and valuations and our customers are looking for IMI to assist them in achieving their goals in this area.

    We listen to our customers

  • New product innovations

    Our Severe Service business has been developing a variety of new products to help customers reduce carbon emissions and other gases. This has included its new ‘CoolMist’ solution which has helped a major customer reduce CO2 emissions by around 20% for a specific application in a combined cycle plant in North America.

  • Sustainable solutions for global brands

    Our Beverage Dispense and Merchandising businesses continue to develop more sustainable solutions for global brand owners and retailers, who have themselves set demanding targets for reducing their carbon footprint. Our new energy efficient coolers for both carbonated soft drinks and beer continue to make a difference. We also launched the ‘Freedom Barrel’ for merchandising cold drinks. Manufactured from reprocessed materials, this portable knock-down barrel delivers significant reductions in packaging, transportation requirements and warehousing space.

    Sustainable solutions for global brands

Global concerns relating to energy efficiency and climate change, whether driven by legislation or not, have a positive impact on customer demand for our products and services – many of which are clearly dedicated to energy efficient operation.

Our customers also value our high standard of ethical and business practices set out in the IMI Way which is particularly relevant to emerging markets where responsible business risks can be higher.

There are a wide range of case studies across the Group which demonstrate how we are helping our customers meet their responsible business commitments. Read our case studies.
