Professional Bodies

IOSH

The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) is a not-for-profit organisation established to promote best practice standards in environmental management, auditing and assessment.

ROSPA

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is a registered charity which was established over 80 years ago. Providing information, advice, resources and training, RoSPA is actively involved in the promotion of safety in all areas of life - at work, in the home, and on the roads, in schools, at leisure and on or near water. RoSPA aims to campaign for change, influence opinion, contribute to debate, educate and inform - for the good of all.

ISEP

ISEP sets professional standards in environmental and sustainability knowledge, skills and practice, and provides membership, professional recognition, training, qualifications, guidance and continuing professional development.

The organisation was formed as IEMA in 1998 through the merger of the Institute of Environmental Management, the Institute of Environmental Assessment and the Environmental Auditors Registration Association. 

In 2025, IEMA changed its name to the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP) to reflect the broader range of environmental and sustainability roles represented by the organisation. ISEP now has more than 21,000 members worldwide working across business, government and other organisations.
