Irresponsible Science?

The Institution of Structural Engineers maintains a core value of sustainability, supported by a Sustainability Panel that provides guidance on carbon impact and responsible sourcing. The organization has no direct financial links to the arms or fossil fuel industries and holds no investments. However, an indirect link to the fossil fuel industry exists through its partnership with Tomorrow’s Engineers.

• The Institution of Structural Engineers identifies sustainability as a core value and employs a Sustainability Panel to oversee this area. This panel produces briefing notes for members covering topics such as green roofs, sustainable homes, responsible sourcing of building materials, and carbon impact assessment.
• The organization has no direct financial involvement with the arms or fossil fuel industries, and its annual accounts indicate it holds no investments. Consequently, it does not maintain an ethical investment policy.
• While direct sponsorship of events surveyed in mid-2017 showed no involvement from the arms or fossil fuel sectors, the institution has one indirect financial link to the fossil fuel industry via its partnership with Tomorrow’s Engineers.
