NISP is an innovative business opportunity programme that delivers bottom line benefits for our members whilst generating positive outcomes for the environment and society. Put simply, our vision is to change the way business thinks. Operating at the forefront of industrial symbiosis thinking and practice, the programme helps companies take a fresh look at their resources.
NISP’s pioneering approach uses industrial symbiosis to identify sustainable resource management solutions for business, which are having a significant impact on the UK economy and contributing to impressive environmental achievements.
NISP, is a national programme, delivered at a regional level across the UK. Each of the twelve regions has a team of dedicated industrial symbiosis practitioners working closely with businesses in the area to raise the profile of industrial symbiosis and to recruit members to the programme.
NISP works directly with businesses of all sizes and sectors. A programme advisory group, consisting of key industry representatives, assists each of the regional teams to ensure the programme is driven by genuine business requirements and that the strategic direction is relevant for each region.
Developing ‘partnerships with purpose’ is a contributing factor to the continuing success of NISP and our partners each share a unique working relationship with us.
One of the reasons why NISP has generated such impressive results is down to the fact that it is publicly funded which means that all businesses, whatever size or sector, are able to participate in the network and benefit from the programme’s approach. NISP is devised and managed by International Synergies Limited who deliver the NISP programme in Scotland and Wales. NISP in England is funded by WRAP and in Northern Ireland through ‘Maximising Efficiencies’ Invest Northern Ireland.
