“Bio” means life and “diversity” means variety, so biodiversity (or biological diversity) is the incredible variety of living things in nature and how they interact with each other.
In the last 50 years our world has been transformed by an explosion in consumption and human population growth. Our ecological footprint far exceeds the planet's ability to regenerate. The biodiversity loss rate is more than one hundred to thousand times higher than the usual rate due to human activities.
The proportion of threats to biodiversity has oriented our action plan and the protocol baseline.
Imerys Biodiversity Strategy and Policy
Imerys has defined “Caring for our planet” as one of the key-areas of our CSR approach, SustainAgility.
Imerys CEO, Alessandro Dazza, stated: “Operating in varied environments and ecosystems, Imerys is speeding up its efforts to integrate the preservation of biodiversity into all our operations and take concrete action to preserve or restore biological diversity.”
Aligned with the international calendar, Imerys CSR approach, SustainAgility, and our act4nature commitments, the 2021 ‘Caring for our Planet’ workshop focused on biodiversity.

Preserving the environment is a priority and the future for Imerys. 11 million species provide solutions to humankind’s current and future needs, including those of Imerys, its employees, their families and local communities.
Furthermore, our programs and activities regarding the environment are visual proof that we indeed care for the environment and the millions of species that live inside it. Thus, another benefit for Imerys is that we get to be known for our biodiversity care and actions to protect it.
