Governance

Integrity in every contract

IMS operates under a clear code of conduct: no shortcuts on law, safety, or human dignity — in Bamako or on any remote site.

CommitmentsWhat we expect — from ourselves and partnersSpeak up

We prohibit bribery, kickbacks, and improper influence in all forms. Gifts and hospitality must be modest, documented, and consistent with policy. Conflicts of interest are disclosed and managed.

We respect human rights and labour standards aligned with international expectations. Harassment and discrimination are not tolerated. Whistle-blower channels are available for serious concerns.

Environmental and community obligations are taken seriously: we cooperate with authorities, comply with permits, and engage constructively with stakeholders when our operations have impact.

What we expect — from ourselves and partners

Compliance becomes effective when expectations are visible in everyday decisions. IMS connects third-party due diligence, approval authorities, conflict declarations, procurement controls, workforce conduct, confidential reporting, investigation, and corrective action so concerns can be raised and addressed without retaliation.
