Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey
The NI Environmental Benchmarking Survey is a free, annual, online, environmental management self-disclosure exercise open to members and non-members of Business in the Community.
Taking part enables an organisation to publicly demonstrate its commitment to being environmentally responsible and transparent, and the process and results allow organisations to examine and reflect on their environmental performance to compare themselves to others and to drive improvements.
Please contact environment@bitcni.org.uk with any queries relating to the Survey in 2023 or 2024.
