What IMS Luxembourg does

IMS Luxembourg (legal name: IMS, Inspiring More Sustainability) is a non-profit association (association sans but lucratif) recognized as being of public utility under Luxembourg law and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under section F, number 7358. The organization operates as the country's leading corporate social responsibility and sustainability network, convening more than 200 member organizations across banking, professional services, healthcare, technology, public administration, education, and adjacent sectors. Its activities are organized around a three-pillar framework: People (diversity, equity, inclusion, human rights), Planet (environment, climate, water, biodiversity), and Prosperity (economic sustainability, sustainable finance).

The portfolio of programs and services includes the Sustainability Academy (training platform), the annual Luxembourg Sustainability Forum (flagship conference), the Sustainability Awards and Diversity Awards programs, B Corp Certification Support, the Sustainability Mag publication, podcasts, practical toolkits (digital sustainability, right to disconnect, water management), and the People/Planet/Prosperity advisory framework. IMS also stewards the Charte de la Diversité Lëtzebuerg platform and operates a National Contact Point linking Luxembourg organizations to European sustainability networks. The core 'technology' is a human-curated, community-led platform rather than a software product; the organization explicitly identifies no proprietary technology stack, API, or AI capabilities.

The business model is membership-based: companies pay recurring corporate membership fees to access the network's tools, events, training, working groups, and peer community. Distribution is direct via the imslux.lu website and secretariat outreach, with marketing supported by organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), newsletters, and flagship events. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumed to be quote-based. The organization is headquartered at 39, rue du Puits Romain, Bertrange, Luxembourg, and operates exclusively within Luxembourg as a domestic non-profit with European-network coordination through the National Contact Point.
