The Environmental Industries Commission (EIC) was launched to provide the environmental technology and services industry with a strong and effective voice with Government in the debate about how to ensure that British companies succeed in the growing worldwide market.

Constructive engagement between EIC’s Members and policymakers and regulators in Westminster, Whitehall and Brussels has borne fruit – thanks to EIC’s lobbying efforts, they are all focusing on developing our industry’s potential.

“The EIC has been a tireless advocate for your industry through a period of rapid growth over the last few years. With EIC’s leadership, your reputation as a lynchpin of a sustainable UK economy can only continue to grow.” – Malcolm Wicks MP, Energy Minister

EIC’s Vision is to be the lead association promoting and supporting the development of a strong, competitive UK environmental technology and services industry with a sound home market from which to compete successfully worldwide.

EIC’s Mission is to promote the international competitiveness of the UK’s environmental technology and services industry.

The EIC’s voice has been heard loud and clear throughout the corridors of the Department of the Environment and the UK’s environmental agencies throughout 2007. The coming year looks as though it is going to be just as busy for the highly active members of the Contaminated Land Working Group.

With over 200 member companies, the Working Group is the largest in the EIC with a rather daunting meeting attendance of 70 or 80 company representatives every quarter. The enthusiastic membership is what keeps the group fresh and interesting, with the ideas that are presented at the meetings fuelling the lobbying activities of the following months.
