Our approach to corporate citizenship

Integrating social, environmental and economic considerations into all aspects of business

For Imperial, corporate citizenship means meeting the growing demands for energy in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible manner. This defines our role as a partner in the community and is integral to our business strategy.

Our business model underpins our commitment to responsible development. We place strong emphasis on six areas:

• Pursuing high standards of corporate governance
• Minimizing our impact on the environment
• Managing the risk of climate change
• Creating a safe, healthy and supportive workplace
• Working with communities to address local needs and create long-term benefits
• Contributing to a strong and vibrant economy

Our commitment to corporate citizenship is governed by our Board of Directors and its various committees. We ensure that employees incorporate these commitments into their work activities and decision-making. Our standards of business conduct provide guidelines on ethics, conflict of interest, non-discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Our management systems provide the framework by which we ensure safe, secure, reliable and environmentally sound operations. We also encourage our employees to become involved in the communities where they work and we provide financial support for charitable causes in which they are involved.
