Real Estate

In an age where corporate responsibility is intrinsically tied to environmental consciousness, IMA’s sustainability real estate strategy reflects our dedication to creating lasting, positive change.

IMA’s Sustainability Real Estate Plan ensures that each office location maximizes energy efficiency, is easily accessible by mass transit and administers a strategic recycling program. Buildings play a pivotal role in addressing climate change, accounting for almost 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. IMA actively contributes to the solution by prioritizing LEED®-certified buildings in each region.

IMA Currently Leases Over 125,000 Square Feet of Leed-certified Space

LEED-certified structures outperform their non-LEED-certified counterparts by reducing building environmental impact. According to the U.S. Green Building Council®, LEED-certified buildings contribute:

34% Lower CO2 Emissions
25% Less Energy Consumption
11% Less Water Consumption

I feel the positive impact of our sustainable real estate initiatives — our working spaces not only promote health but also invigorate us. I appreciate IMA’s commitment to well-being through investments in LEED-certified buildings, aligning with our dedication to corporate responsibility and environmental consciousness for lasting positive change.
