IMI scores 46/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified September 2026.
That places IMI joint 164th of 680 companies scored, and 2nd of 9 in Industrial Equipment / Machinery.
IMI has verified Scope 1+2 emissions down 36% since 2019 and SBTi-validated net-zero targets. Supply chain dominates emissions at 99% of footprint but lacks third-party verification. Renewable energy covers only 17 sites; market-based procurement is absent. Biodiversity strategy is non-existent.

6 sources used in this assessment. All publicly available. Each row shows which rubric questions it informed.
Provisional evidence. Published on 6 sources and 2 independent parties — below our full-confidence threshold of 8 sources and 3 independent parties. Every source shown below passed the same quality checks as any other score: all live, none from data aggregators. There is simply less of it.
This company's public sustainability disclosure is limited. This score is based on the 6 verified sources cited below, rather than padded to a standard count.
This score is published on six verified sources and two independent parties, below the eight sources and three independent parties we require for full confidence. All six are live and none comes from a data aggregator. IMI discloses a CDP Climate grade on its own website, but no public CDP page carries it, so it cannot be cited as an independent source; if that disclosure appears citably in a future CDP cycle it would supply the third party and move this to full confidence. The score itself is unaffected by the count.
Limited data coverage. This assessment is based on 6 sources, 67% of which are self-reported by the company. Scores may change as independent evidence becomes available.
