The Environmental Industries Commission (EIC) is a UK-based trade body representing companies in the environmental technologies and services sector. Its stated role is to champion environmental business to government and other stakeholders, and it says it represents the views of around 70 members. The organisation is based in London, at 3 Hanbury Drive, Leytonstone House, and is currently operating as a remote organisation.
EIC works across a broad policy and industry agenda linked to the transition to a more sustainable economy. Its website highlights activity on nature and biodiversity, circularity and waste, public affairs, and parliamentary engagement. The commission also publishes policy material and news for members, and it convenes sector groups and taskforces that bring together companies and specialists on specific issues. One of its named areas of work is nature and biodiversity, where it examines how to deliver “net gain” and supports the development of guidance for planning and development.
A notable part of EIC’s public role is its connection to the ACE Group, alongside the Association for Consultancy and Engineering. Together, the two bodies provide a platform for consultancy, engineering, and environmental firms working on infrastructure, regulation, and decarbonisation. EIC also uses events and receptions to connect members with policymakers, including its parliamentary reception and themed events on waste, circularity, and industry policy.
Search results indicate that the organisation dates back to 1997, when it was incorporated in England and Wales. Its work is national in scope, focused primarily on the UK policy environment, though its themes align with wider European environmental and infrastructure debates.
