Mission statement
"To build a sustainable, profitable and efficient mining and mineral processing company, with emphasis on mineral products required for the international steel industry and in the process to engage in ethical, and environmentally and socially responsible, methods."

IFM recognises that the long-term sustainability of its business is dependent on its operating within the carrying capacity of the environment and that the company must maintain a balance between economic development, the requirements of its business, the community and environmental conservation. Environmental management, which forms an integral part of the IFM Integrated Management System (IFMIMS), includes the requirements of ISO 14001. The company is proud to have been awarded ISO 14001:2004 certification in 2008, just 18 months after start-up. All operating business units have approved environmental management plans and systems in place to evaluate environmental management risks.
