The UMS Patrimoine Naturel offers its scientific expertise, support, advice and methodological tools to support Imerys in the development of an action plan and commitment project that is aligned with the objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy (SNB) and Act4Nature. The aim of this program is to develop and deploy methodological tools to characterize and assess biodiversity on Imerys sites in France and abroad, aiming to ensure that biodiversity is taken into account during all phases of a mining project. In October 2020 the program was officially renewed, taking effect in June 2021 for another three years.
