Environmental Stewardship

Waste Not, Want Not
IEM operates with efficiency and resourcefulness at the core of our culture. Our “waste not, want not” philosophy guides continuous improvement in energy use, waste reduction, and material efficiency. IEM is developing a formal waste tracking system, and data will be disclosed in subsequent reports. We view compliance with global, federal, state, and local laws as the bare minimum and starting point, not the finish line.

We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality across Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in our global wholly owned manufacturing and logistics operations by 2040.
We continue to develop and implement a carbon reduction roadmap to support these objectives. Our Board of Directors provides oversight on sustainability, compliance, and corporate governance. The Board receives regular updates on ESG-related initiatives and performance.
