Irresponsible Science?

The Science Council provides quality assurance and professional registration for scientists and technicians. An assessment of its corporate links found no financial ties to the fossil fuel industry and no relevant investments. However, the Council maintains a relationship with the Atomic Weapons Establishment through its 'Employer Champion' programme, and it lacks a published environmental policy.

• The Science Council does not have a published environmental policy, nor does it have a general or ethical investment policy, although it is noted that the Council held no investments of relevance to the study.
• The Council's 'Employer Champion' programme includes 20 organisations, one of which (5%) is the Atomic Weapons Establishment, a corporation involved in the research, development, and manufacture of UK nuclear warheads.
• There is no evidence of financial links between the Science Council and the fossil fuel industry, and sponsorship for its limited events does not involve fossil fuel corporations.
• The Science Council's primary purpose is to promote the advancement and dissemination of scientific knowledge for public benefit and to advance professionalism through the registration of scientists and technicians.
