We share our communication on progress by including commentary on our activities within our Annual Report and by providing other information on our website. As illustrated by the two weblinks above, we have made considerable progress this year. The IMI Way - Code of Responsible Business was launch in the first half of 2009 as a new communication tool for our policies and approach to UNGC issues. Further updates on performance will be added to our website in due course. We also promote the UNGC in our discussions with customers and suppliers; the Principles of the UNGC are also included in our supplier information packs and audit protocols.
