1. Pioneering professional standards 

We will continue to set and raise standards for professional excellence, maintaining our support for the development of effective, successful, and qualified professionals.

2. Nurturing innovation

As the age of digitalisation changes our world with breathtaking speed, we will support our members and the global community by enabling and encouraging innovation.

3. Advocating with an authoritative voice 

Our status as the leading voice in the sector underpins our ability to advocate on behalf of our members, represent the interests of professionals, influence society’s approach to resource management, and promote the benefits of a circular economy.

4. Enhancing engagement and connectivity

Resource efficiency is a global social responsibility. Our role is not only to inform and educate businesses, organisations, and individuals about that responsibility, but also to inspire and enable them to take action – worldwide.

5. Cultivating communities of practice 

We establish a culture and framework that encourages professional relationships to flourish and for members to promote ideas, impart knowledge, share problems, suggest solutions, advocate best practices, and build personal networks that enhance their career opportunities.

6. Leading through excellence 

Achieving our purpose requires an effective, efficient and high-performing membership organisation, with financial strength and organisational resilience, which leads by example.

Our purpose and strategy have been developed collaboratively by members and Trustees. It is owned by all of us. Because, together, we have the knowledge, creativity and determination to move the world beyond waste.
