Our Story
Since our launch in 1998, Sustainable Northern Ireland has evolved significantly but our mission has remained the same: to build a sustainable future for us and our planet.
For more than 25 years we've been helping to deliver transformational change by embedding sustainability across the public, private and third sectors, making a positive difference to people's lives whilst helping to protect the planet.
In that time the social and political landscape has evolved, with the climate and nature crisis becoming a widespread concern. We've stayed ahead of the curve, bringing clear, holistic thinking to help decision makers meet these challenges head on.
