IMM supports organisations to formulate and communicate their environmental policy.

We work with organisations to develop and implement their environmental policies and plans, measure and report environmental performance, and communicate their position to customers, stakeholders, and the wider market.

By working with your internal team, we will help you formulate your environmental policy, comprising:

• Green products: developing environmentally conscious products and services, and reducing  carbon footprint.
• Energy and emissions reduction: energy efficiency, use of renewables and managing emissions.
• Water usage: water efficiency, recovery and usage reduction.
• Materials management, recycling and waste reduction: sourcing sustainably, reduction, recycling and re-use of materials, and managing packaging, production waste and pollutants.
• Supply chain: managing your supply chain’s environmental impact and supplier sustainability.
• Environmental management and sustainability: developing an environmental management system, complying with environmental standards and supporting your Environment, Sustainability and Governance strategy.

Across the secure document market, from security printers, passport producers, papermakers, laminate, holographic and other component suppliers, to integrators and equipment suppliers, businesses face a variety of environmental issues and challenges.

We also help organisations to assess their supply chains and the environmental performance of their suppliers, and to shape environmental requirements across their supply chains and in future tender specifications.

We have worked with a major European State Printer to create a process and framework to evaluate their suppliers’ environmental policies and initiatives, and benchmark them against their industry.

Several companies are adopting many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for their environmental and social performance across their value chain.

In addition the EU’s Regulation on deforestation-free supply chain will require organisations to trace the commodities they are selling back to the plot of land where they were produced and prove that the land that has not been subject to deforestation or forest degradation.

The IMM team has experience in working with companies across the whole secure document supply chain in a range of manufacturing and commercial environments. We are uniquely placed to support your company to meet evolving environmental challenges and standards, and to respond to tenders, participate in global initiatives and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
