About iken

Founded in 2001 we help organisations grow, build resilience and deliver for their audiences through better environmental and social outcomes. Our work is grounded in the realities of markets, stakeholders and policy – taking an ambitious approach to achieving meaningful change in a pragmatic way.  

Originally focussed on environmental management, we have evolved into a highly experienced multidisciplinary team delivering strategy, technical advisory, compliance, standards, stakeholder engagement and projects for a range of organisations and sectors. We work at all levels in organisations - wherever we are needed.
