Sustainability

We recognise the impacts that our operations may have on the environment, whether through our procurement or our manufacturing processes.

We’ve developed the IFS Environmental Policy to guide our actions in reducing our impacts associated with procurement, energy, water, and waste.

We firmly believe that addressing these material areas is not only the right thing to do but also unlocks greater value for our customers, helping them succeed in the marketplace.

Environmental Roadmap

Our immediate and near-term actions will follow the IFS Environmental Roadmap 2024-2027. We will continuously review our performance and update our targets with each three-yearly cycle.

2024 Q3-Q4

Baseline intensity: 327 kWh/t*
Devise and kickstart reduction activities: Solar Panel Installation, Heating/Chilling Optimisation, Pipe Insulation
