Strategy and Implementation

As a global organization, Imerys has a long-term commitment to operate in a responsible manner for employees, shareholders, the communities in which the Group works and the environment. As a consequence, environmental and social performance is a key component of the Group’s performance.

Imerys Sustainable Development strategy is set by a Sustainable Development Steering Committee (the “SD Steering Committee”) which meets quarterly and brings together several corporate departments including Research & Technology, Environment, Health ; Safety, Human Resources, legal, and internal & external Communications, Three members of the Imerys Executive Committee are on the SD Steering Committee.

A policy for sustainable development

The SD Steering Committee is supported by a Sustainable Development Working Group consisting of EHS, SD and HR professionals from throughout the Imerys operations. The Group Vice President Environment, Health & Safety is responsible for coordinating Sustainable Development efforts.

The Board of Directors is also increasingly attentive to Sustainable Development risks and issues, which are examined by the Strategic Committee and the Audit Committee. The Group’s Sustainable Development policy and results are now the subject of a comprehensive regular report to the Board of Directors. In June 2008, they will be covered by the Group’s third Sustainable Development report.
