Ciwem Services

CIWEM represents and supports a community of thousands of members and organisations in over 89 countries who are dedicated to improving water and environmental management for the benefit of the public. Our aim is to work towards a safer, more sustainable world. Our mission is to build a global community of water and environmental professionals dedicated to working for the public benefit. As an independent charity we champion professional standards, impartiality and the use of scientific evidence in the management of the environment. We champion: Highly qualified water and environmental managers, engineers and scientists who are recognised globally for their professional expertise and conduct. Protection of the public from pollution, environmental destruction and natural hazards through the promotion and share of best practice. Application and scientific rigour and impartiality to plans and policies ensuring the best outcomes for society now and in the future. Our culture and organisational strategy is founded upon two principles: that we are relevant and accessible to all. As an institution, we are striving to become more inclusive and help the wider water and environmental management sector (WEM) feel that way too. To us, this means making CIWEM a welcoming environment where everyone feels able to participate and that their unique voices and experiences are represented. We have been working as part of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Science Council Diversity and Inclusion progression framework steering group, as well as other water and environmental organisations to improve our levels of equality and inclusion across the sector.
