Corporate Social Responsibility

Imtech assumes responsibility for the consequences of its activities and decisions for people, the environment and society, and is prepared to give account. To limit its negative impact on the environment as far as possible, Imtech focuses on the reduction of its carbon footprint, the management of waste flows, on making its procurement of services and products more sustainable, as well as taking numerous initiatives to be as ‘green’ as possible. Through this vision, Imtech aims to inspire its employees to also be as sustainable as possible in their actions and to in turn inspire collaborative relationships within the technology chain.

CSR: core business

CSR is part of Imtech’s core business. Imtech focuses its corporate activities on value creation in the longer term in the three dimensions people, planet and profit, and enters into a dialogue on this with its stakeholders.

Technology that improves society

Imtech uses its strong position for the benefit of a sustainable society. The world is looking at organisations like Imtech for solutions to the problems of today and tomorrow. Every day, Imtech proves its claim of ‘Technology that improves society’. Time and time again with literally hundreds of ‘green’ projects and numerous appealing internal CSR initiatives.

Frontrunner in sustainability

Imtech aims to be a frontrunner in sustainability. Imtech CEO René van der Bruggen: ‘Society is becoming ‘greener’ at an increasingly high pace. Technology leads the way in this development. The trend towards ‘green’ technical infrastructure started in the energy and buildings sector. This was followed by ‘green’ data centres and now, this trend manifests itself in the markets for marine technology, in the industrial sector and in the market for traffic technology. Imtech is a leading player in all of these markets. As a technical service provider with an ability to deliver ‘green’ total solutions through the combination of electrical engineering, IT and mechanical engineering, we provide our clients with all possible options that enable sustainable growth.’

Governance and CSR

The governance of the CSR policy has been arranged at the highest level in the organisation and is the responsibility of the Board of Management. The Board directs an international steering committee made up of responsible managers from each division. The members of the steering committee are authorised to jointly determine the CSR policy, and to implement the activities that derive from this policy in the various business units. Imtech NV implements the ISO26000 guidelines. CSR principles are an integral component of the company’s HR policy and business principles.
