IMDS team

At Engineering, Energy, Matter (Materials) and Code are our true core business. At Materials Engineering Centre (MEC), we secure that the materials we use in our products reach our sustainability goals and have the right quality.

The Environmental Health and IMDS* group are the experts and have deep understanding of how materials, pollutions and substances impact the health and wellbeing of our customers and the environment. The IMDS team secure that we use correct data in our reports both internal and external. The team heavily rely on IT-tools, many of them developed by the team and some developed by Digital. The increasing interest in material data and what it can be used for has led to a high focus both within Engineering as well as from Global Sustainability and other stakeholders. Therefore, the IMDS team work closely with digital to develop exciting new tools to support our ambitious sustainability journey. We also explore possibilities to use machine learning to enable more efficient handling of data.

*The purpose of IMDS (International material Data System) is to secure legal requirements within the area of substance management and recyclability
