Diversity is our asset

We strongly believe that the many women and men coming together at Imerys, with their different backgrounds, experiences and cultures and working towards common objectives, will contribute to the growth of Imerys. For this reason, on April 28, 2011, our Chairman and CEO, Gilles Michel, signed the Imerys’ Diversity Charter, which underlines the Group’s commitment to promoting and improving diversity and inclusion at Imerys.

The main principle behind this approach is recognizing, respecting, and valuing the differences each person brings to Imerys. We believe that these very differences will allow the Group to be more competitive and more innovative.


Imerys has set itself the following priorities in terms of Diversity:

- Increasing opportunities for women in management,
- Increasing opportunities for more nationalities in management,
- Increasing opportunities for ethnic minorities in management,
- Increasing awareness of disabled employees.
