Sustainable NI is a not for profit organisation established in 1997 to assist local authorities, the community and voluntary sector, central government departments, non departmental public bodies and the business sector in understanding, promoting and encouraging the adoption of sustainable principles in all aspects of our lives.

Sustainable NI works through five core areas - policy, local government, community, business and process design - to promote sustainable practice in Northern Ireland society. It is a first stop shop that is moving sustainable development from an issue based agenda into an action based programme. Economic prosperity, environmental excellence and social equity are the pillars which support its work.

Sustainable Development is essential to our future and it happens when people work together for a common aim. Irrespective of your sector or status, by working in new ways, listening to those you work with, learning from them and creating visions with them, you can find your place, your space and your role in creating a sustainable future. All of our actions have a social impact, addressing these requires new thinking for new times.
