Commitment to CSR - The IMA Group

Our commitment to CSR

A voluntary and strategic commitment

The IMA Group has made a commitment to work in a spirit of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to spread good social, societal, environmental and economic practices throughout the group. These practices are the very foundations of the sustainable development and social economy values that underpinned the Group’s creation.
