Local communities play an important role for IMA which is committed to building a close link with the territorial context of the countries in which it operates and promoting sustainable development. Harmony with the community is to be considered strategic both through dialogue with the various organisations and through the participation and promotion of local projects. To this end, IMA supports projects and initiatives concerning people’s health, education (with a special attention to the technical and scientific knowledge for young people), sports and those associations engaged in assisting people in need.
