Community Engagement

We operate in over 100 countries worldwide and IMI has benefited greatly from the communities in these locations.

Responsibility Highlights

  • Norgren helps people with learning disabilities in Germany

    In Germany, Norgren Alpen works alongside Spix, a non-profit community organisation, to help people with learning disabilities become active members of the labour market.  In this win-win situation, Norgren can relieve some of its regular employees of some of the simpler tasks whilst Spix clients, who identify enthusiastically with Norgren, enjoy the protection of attending a sheltered workshop, increasing their living standards and self-esteem.

  • Cornelius delivers new equipment to children's charities in Mexico

    The Reynosa team at IMI Cornelius, Mexico, was able to purchase, deliver and present new equipment to three local charities.  Through these donations, over 500 children will enjoy the benefit of new advanced equipment to support their treatment, help their therapy and improve their lifestyles.

  • Artform donates to The Water Project

    In the UK, Artform made a donation to The Water Project helping a community in Sierra Leone.  The charity focuses on building long-term, truly sustainable water projects.  The donation resulted in the purchase of a hand well pump alongside supplying two school classrooms with safe water.

The communities where we operate are crucial to the success of IMI. We have a duty to be a responsible business citizen and to meet our commitments to these communities. Although our projects and facilities can bring benefits to local communities by creating jobs and investment in the surrounding area, they can also give rise to concerns.

Consequently, IMI works to be a good neighbour and demonstrates high economic, social and environmental standards. We also remain respectful of human rights and assist our local communities through charitable activities and community volunteering.
