Become an IMI founding sponsor

Many organisations already recognise the environmental, social and business benefits and competitive advantages to be gained from adoption of information and data management best practices.

To support the Information Management Initiative (IMI) and to help extend awareness, interest and adoption of the IMI, the CLC is seeking founding sponsors from across the sector (clients, funders, contractors, consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers, regulators, etc).

IMI founding sponsors will be the initial champions of the IMI, helping to steer the initiative, fund its initial dissemination, and build its supporting framework. They will be recognised by the IMI and across the sector as industry leaders backing digital transformation, will be able to badge themselves as IMI founding sponsors, and will be promoted at events and in IMI supporting materials.

Founding sponsors will also lead by example, mandating the IMI to their own people, achieving compliance with its principles, and promoting it to other organisations with whom they collaborate.
