Launched in 2018, SustainAgility, our sustainability programme articulates Imerys’ comprehensive approach to doing business in a way that creates positive value for all our stakeholders. It was updated in January 2026 to better reflect their evolving expectations.
Creating sustainable value for our customers
More and more, our customers want the products they buy to be sustainable. We help them by continuously improving our practices to make our products and solutions as sustainable as possible across the value chain. We also provide comprehensive sustainability information about our products so customers can make educated choices when they buy from us.
Decarbonizing our activities
We are taking specific steps to significantly reduce the CO2 emissions at our operations as well as along our value chain. Our 2030 climate change strategy is validated by the SBTi.
Preserving our natural heritage
Our activity naturally has an impact on the living world, giving us a major responsibility to treat the environment with care. We are committed to acting as responsible environmental stewards, reducing our consumption of natural resources while respecting the ecosystems in which we operate and working together with scientific experts to preserve and restore biodiversity.
Making sure that every person matters
We have always made people our primary value, prioritizing health and safety, safeguarding human rights and labor practices, nurturing talent, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, and engaging with local communities.
Ensuring high standards all along the value chain
We follow the most demanding international codes of corporate conduct. We place the values of communication, trust and transparency at the heart of our company culture and relationships.
Recognition of our efforts by rating agencies
