Ethical Profile

Mixed.

IMI PLC's ethical standing presents a mixed picture. The company experienced a cybersecurity breach in early 2025, which reportedly led to a 2.4% stock decline, though IMI had invested £5 million in cybersecurity in 2023 and engaged external experts. While IMI aims for net-zero by 2050 and achieved a 99.5% recycling rate in 2023, critics point to its involvement in carbon-intensive oil and gas industries, reporting 2,062,000 kg CO₂e emissions in Great Britain for 2023. On a positive note, IMI publishes Modern Slavery Act statements, partners with Assent for supply chain sustainability, and employee reviews suggest good salary and work-life balance. However, its TISCreport transparency score of 42 is below the sector average.
