2022 ESG Report
IMCO's ESG report provides an update on ESG activities and progress over the last year. We remain steadfast in our commitment to consider ESG and climate-related risks and opportunities to achieve our performance objectives while accelerating decarbonization.
In 2022, we made important progress on our ESG and climate journey by:
- Developing our Climate Action Plan, which includes science-based targets to reduce the carbon emissions intensity of its portfolio and a target for investment in climate solutions, both critical components for reaching a net zero world by 2050;
- Developing our Stewardship Guideline, aligned with the Stewardship Principles by the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) and the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance (CCGG).
- Implementing our DEI strategy that was developed in partnership with an employee-led DEI council.
