What is Investors in the Environment?

• A step-by-step adaptable approach that allows your organisation to develop its environmental ambitions by moving through different levels of accreditation to set resource use targets, develop a plan and establish a pathway for continual improvement.

• Once you have met the criteria required your plans and efforts with be validated and you will then be awarded your accreditation.

• iiE is suitable for organisations of all types and sizes and at any stage of their environmental sustainability journey – from sole traders through to large multi-site employers.

Why become accredited?

• As a nationally recognised standard iiE can be used to demonstrate your environmental credentials in tendering, used in contract management for procurement, facilitate system redesign and to implement an environmental management system.

• It is a good flexible alternative to ISO14001 too.

• Businesses save money by working with us and your iIE journey becomes a great experience to tell and share.

• Because its a good thing to do.

• Use iiE as your action to the Climate Emergency.

• We've helped implement iiE into organisations from a variety of sectors from dentists, business parks, veterinary centres and accountants to solicitors, hospitals and councils because iiE is designed to work with the needs of your organisation.
