Corporate Responsibility

Imperial earned a Bronze rating from EcoVadis, the global sustainability ratings organization, which places us in the top 35% of companies assessed worldwide.

EcoVadis evaluates companies across 21 criteria in four areas:

• Environment
• Labor and Human Rights
• Ethics
• Sustainable Procurement

The rating provides independent verification of Imperial's sustainability practices and governance framework.

The paper we use is sourced from suppliers certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The FSC ensures that trees are harvested responsibly for zero deforestation, so there is no net loss of forests over time.

As a manufacturer, our facilities are large power consumers. We actively reduce our energy use through ongoing programs, including:

• The use of energy-efficient LED lighting, with motion sensors where applicable
• Shutting down equipment that is not in use
• Monitoring and adjusting thermostats for optimum efficiency
• Closing off areas and environmental systems of facilities during seasonal periods of peak usage

Imperial recycles the paper, aluminum, and plastic we use. Through one of our equipment providers, Xerox, we recycle 500+ pounds of toner cartridges, from our large commercial printing presses, down to our desktop printers, every six weeks. (Learn more about this program.)

At Imperial, we believe it is important to give back to the communities that support us. GENreach is our company-wide initiative supporting organizations aligned with our values through both financial contributions and hands-on volunteer service.

Our giving includes quarterly team volunteer events and annual donations to mission-driven nonprofits.
