Our vision is 'to bring about long term business culture change through profitable actions that result in measurable environmental and social benefits thus making a significant contribution to international sustainability'.
NISP operates at the forefront of industrial symbiosis thinking and practice, helping companies take a fresh look at their resources.
We do this by working closely with our members. Combining our expertise and enthusiasm, we help to create commercial opportunities through the exchange of all resources, including materials, energy, water, sharing assets, logistics and expertise.
By bringing together companies of all sizes from all business sectors, NISP enables thousands of businesses to change how they practice and become more resource efficient.
Membership to the programme is free. We have a network of 12 regional teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each with a team of dedicated industrial symbiosis practitioners who work closely with our members to drive genuine business opportunities.
The challenge to become more resource efficient has never been more prominent for UK businesses. Every day thousands of NISP members are benefiting from our programme and reaping the rewards of taking positive and proactive steps towards meeting their business and environmental challenges.
The programme was officially launched in July 2005 at the House of Commons by Dr Alan Whitehead, MP, and Baroness Young, Chief Executive of the Environment Agency.
