 IMQS and the Environment
Environmental concerns are a key priority for the Society.

It is fully committed to ensuring that rock, sand, gravel and mineral extraction is undertaken in an environmentally compatible manner. For the last number of years many of the talks and activities have been aimed at creating awareness among members of their responsibilities to the environment and assisting them in the interpretation and compliance with the relevant EU Directives and national legislation. In this regard the Society has established an environmental Code of Practice, which is enshrined in the Society Constitution.
