EIC – The voice of environmental business

About EIC

The Environmental Industries Commission (EIC) exists to ensure that the UK business environment sector can operate effectively to improve the environment that we all rely on and enjoy as citizens.

We work to ensure that environmental policies are thoughtful and progressive, that regulations are clear and enforced, that innovation is rewarded and that finance and export opportunities are available.

We are independent of Government and funded by our members. Our head office is in central London where we share offices and systems with our sister organisation, the Association for Consultancy and Engineering. We also have a satellite office in Glasgow.

Insights

We help our members understand and anticipate the regulatory, political and economic changes that shape environmental markets.

Lobbying

We believe in policies and regulations that protect the environment in a pragmatic, achievable way. We work on behalf of our members to ensure that government policy does this.

Export support

As an accredited partner for the Department for International Trade, we help members identify and access business opportunities overseas.

Networking

Our membership includes specialists in the full gamut of green issues – from start-ups to multinationals, universities to entrepreneurs, consultancies to technology firms. We provide an unrivalled network where members can meet potential clients, suppliers and collaborators.

Events

We run around 40 events a year, ranging from technical working group meetings through roundtable discussions to Parliamentary receptions and conferences.

Best practice

Our member firms represent best practice in their fields. We work with Government agencies to help set technical standards.
