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.
