IMAX discloses no global Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures, no emissions trajectory, no climate targets, and no renewable energy strategy; its most recent global sustainability report dates to 2021. Its operational footprint is small — around 700 employees across offices in Canada and the United States.
