Governance & Ethics
Board of Directors Oversight
IEM has principal production facilities in Fremont, California;
Jacksonville, Florida; and Vancouver, Canada. We are governed by a Board of Directors composed of seven members, including IEM representatives, investment partners, and independent director, who provide oversight on sustainability, compliance, and corporate governance.
Corporate Officers, appointed by the Board, are responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of IEM’s entities. Our Compensation Committee reviews and sets executive compensation aligned with company goals, overseeing annual base salary, short- and long-term incentives, equity-based awards, and clawback provisions.
Enterprise Risk Management
Managing risk is essential to IEM’s mission to maintain long-term stability and success. Our enterprise risk management approach helps identify and address risks that could impact project delivery, regulatory compliance, data security, and financial performance.
Risk management activities include the identification and assessment of operational, environmental, regulatory, and project delivery risks. Risk considerations are integrated into project planning and execution processes to support informed decision-making and effective mitigation. IEM implements internal controls and compliance monitoring across its programs and contracts.
Safeguarding Sensitive Information
Our data privacy and cybersecurity practices are designed to safeguard sensitive data and maintain the integrity of our systems. These practices include secure data management protocols, employee awareness and training programs, and cybersecurity monitoring designed to identify and respond to potential threats.
Cybersecurity risks are evaluated as part of our broader risk management process. We maintain a business continuity plan, disaster recovery plan, and incident response framework. Our Privacy Policy is aligned with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Our privacy practices for Canadian operations are aligned with applicable Federal and Provincial privacy laws and regulations.
Integrity that guides every aspect of our work.
Ethical Conduct
Ethical conduct and integrity guide all aspects of IEM’s work. Our Code of Conduct establishes clear expectations for employees regarding professional behavior, legal compliance, and responsible business practices. Key policies include those governing
anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance, fair treatment and respect in the workplace, and adherence to applicable laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.
IEM maintains a Whistleblower Protection program with a confidential reporting mechanism available to employees and third parties. We prohibit retaliation and provide training to ensure awareness of reporting channels. Employees are also required to disclose and manage potential conflicts of interest under our formal Conflicts of Interest Policy.
IEM is committed to fair competition and anti-competitive behavior compliance, anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, and trade compliance across all operations and business relationships.
