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.

The Labour Party launched their manifesto in Manchester today. Following the IEMA analysis of the Lib Dem, Tory and Green Party manifestos, Ben Goodwin, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at IEMA, looks at what the Labour Party has prioritised in relation to the sustainability agenda.
The Conservatives have become the second party to launch their programme for government, which they aim to deliver should they win the election on the 4th of July. IEMA's Ben Goodwin pulls out some of the relevant pledges sets down and looks at how they compare with what IEMA's policy calls entailed.
The Green Party manifesto contains many of the themes you might expect and few surprises, but also some quite bold ideas that have the potential to deliver a green economy and a £40bn investment plan per year to do so. IEMA's Lesley Wilson discusses.
