IEMA is planning to run regular consultations, workshops and other programmes in 2017 to help support and inform members as the implications of Brexit unfold.
Defra’s 25-year plan, the government’s industrial strategy and the Great Repeal Bill are all expected to influence the policy and regulatory framework that shapes the work members do and it is important to keep up to speed during this period of substantial change.
IEMA will not only inform members but also seek input to help set IEMA’s future position. The institute said that, with current political and market uncertainty and the scale of the change required, it is important that both IEMA and members continue to deliver best practice in sustainability.
Martin Baxter, IEMA’s chief policy advisor, said: ‘There is significant uncertainty on how the policy and regulatory framework for environment and sustainability will develop over the coming years. We’ll be engaging IEMA members in developing the profession’s response and use this to shape longer-term outcomes.’
Members will receive more details as developments progress.
