IMarEST: Shaping a Sustainable Marine Future with Core Values

As we prepare to launch a bold new strategic plan, the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) has defined its core values: integrity, collaboration, relevance, and community. Each value is supported by a set of best practices that guide our interactions and growth.

The new IMarEST strategic plan, set for publication in October, outlines how we will enhance value for members, strengthen our technical influence, and expand our global reach in the marine sector.

Chris Goldsworthy, CEO of IMarEST, said: “To drive real and lasting change in the marine world, we must unite. Every member of IMarEST has a role in upholding a shared standard of excellence. Our values and behaviors provide a framework for supporting each other, staying accountable, and working toward common goals. I am confident that by living these values, 2026 will be our most impactful year yet.”

We invite all members and partners to explore the full details of our values and best practices and join us in putting them into action.
