The power of partnership

We are facing a climate emergency that requires an urgent change to how we all do business. It requires us to work collaboratively, across industries and across the globe, if we are going to create impactful solutions and transform our societies and economies.

Being sustainable doesn’t just produce social benefits. It will make your business more resilient, more competitive and better prepared for what’s to come, both in terms of legislative changes and our rapidly changing climate.

IEMA Partnership Programmes have been designed to provide the support, skills and resources needed for your team to create measurable sustainability impact in your workplace.

Every business or organisation should be a partner, no matter where you are on your sustainability journey.

IEMA Corporate Partners have joined our mission to transform the world to sustainability, and leading organisations have partnered with us to develop their workforces' productivity, resilience and growth against a backdrop of numerous sustainability and climate threats, which underpins the success of their organisation.

EIA Quality Mark

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Quality Mark is a scheme operated by IEMA that allows organisations (both developers and consultancies) that lead the co-ordination of statutory EIAs in the UK to make a commitment to excellence in their EIA activities and have this commitment independently reviewed. The EIA Quality Mark is a voluntary scheme, with organisations free to choose whether they are ready to operate to its seven EIA Commitments.

Training schemes

Graduate Recruiters have had their Graduate training schemes IEMA approved, which assures the successful applicants that the training that they receive will ensure they develop the skills and abilities required to become a Full member of IEMA (MIEMA) and Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv). 

Take a look at current IEMA approved graduate training schemes.
