Boyer Achieves IEMA Quality Mark Success – A Testament to EIA Excellence

At Boyer, we are proud to announce that we have successfully passed all assessment criteria in our most recent IEMA Quality Mark review.

This recognition from the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) is a significant achievement and a reflection of the consistent quality and professionalism we bring to our Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) work. The IEMA Quality Mark scheme is a benchmark for excellence in EIA practice across the UK, and Boyer’s continued inclusion — with such strong feedback — demonstrates our team’s commitment to high standards and best practice in everything we do.

A rigorous review — and a result to be proud of

The IEMA Quality Mark review process is a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of a consultancy’s EIA performance. It assesses a wide range of criteria, from technical quality and compliance with environmental legislation, to team capability, client service and continuous improvement. For Boyer to pass all criteria — and to be reclassified into the lowest risk category — is a fantastic endorsement of our approach.

A number of our recent Environmental Statements were reviewed as part of the assessment. The review team also highlighted the clarity, structure and quality of our submissions and recognised our strong internal processes and collaborative working methods.

Recognising the team effort behind the success

Our success is the result of dedicated teamwork across the business. Every planner, coordinator, and team member who has contributed to our EIA work in recent years has played a role in achieving this result.

Environmental Impact Assessment is a complex, evolving part of the planning process. It requires not only technical knowledge and regulatory understanding, but also strong communication, coordination and the ability to respond effectively to a project’s unique challenges and sensitivities. At Boyer, we bring all of this together to support our clients in delivering development proposals that are environmentally responsible, well-informed, and ready for success.

A word from Alyson Jones, Director at Boyer

Reflecting on the achievement, Alyson Jones, Director and EIA Lead at Boyer, commented:

“This achievement reflects the dedication and professionalism of our EIA team. At Boyer, we’re committed to providing clients with robust, pragmatic advice that supports the delivery of high-quality, sustainable developments. Our ability to meet IEMA’s rigorous standards not only reinforces the quality of our service but gives clients confidence that their projects are in expert hands.”
