Business is an integral and influential part of society and has a vital role to play in shaping all our futures. Forward looking companies in the UK and across the world are increasingly embracing their corporate responsibilities to take positive action on their environmental performance. This helps them manage better by mitigating environmental, and thus business, risk and capitalising on opportunities for sustainable development.

BiE is genuinely business lead. Our Leadership Team comprises senior business figures who carry authority in their industries. We strive to make the business case for action on environmental impacts and to give examples of good practice. We aim to stimulate debate, raise awareness and provide solutions to meet the challenges to creating wealth whilst preserving our greatest asset, the natural environment.
