What is IIE?
We are on a mission to help organisations make a positive impact on the planet
Investors in the Environment (iiE) is a national environmental accreditation scheme designed to help organisations save time and money, reduce their impact on the environment, and get recognition for their progress. iiE is an accessible and proven route to help organisations get started on their sustainability journey and keep going.
Through iiE, you will understand your impact, take action, and demonstrate progress through an externally verified and credible scheme.
