We are the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).
We are the global professional body for over 20,000 individuals and 300 organisations working, studying or interested in the environment and sustainability.
We are the professional organisation at the centre of the sustainability agenda, connecting business and individuals across industries, sectors and borders.
We also help and support public and private sector organisations, governments and regulators to do the right thing when it comes to environment and sustainability related initiatives, challenges and opportunities. We work to influence public policy on environment and sustainability matters. We do this by drawing on the insights and experience of our members to ensure that what happens in practice influences the development of government policy, legislation, regulations and standards.
