The Environment is Our Business
Since 1996. As a non-profit trade association, NEBC represents the interests of its members, while promoting the health of the industry and the environment as a whole. Formed as a regional organization in 1996, NEBC is the recognized voice of the industry - advocating for science-based regulation, supportive policies and tax structures, the dissemination of knowledge, and the adoption of best practices.
 
All Sectors. Growing beyond its roots in environmental protection and remediation, NEBC's members now also work in energy and efficiency, waste and recycling, water supply, wastewater treatment, land use, design and construction, "green" chemistry and manufacturing, greenhouse gas management, and related fields. This collection of sectors now falls under the umbrella of  "sustainability" or "clean technologies," but NEBC members were there from the beginning.
 
All Disciplines. Members cover an ever-widening spectrum, including engineers, consultants, contractors, scientists, lawyers, product and technology providers, insurers, project developers, financers, architects, business support professionals, plus a host of other disciplines and organizations supportive of NEBC's goals.

         NEBC is the Hub
NEBC’s uniqueness and strength lies in its breadth. As a cross-sector, cross-discipline, organization NEBC fosters transfer of knowledge and learning, builds synergies among members, and expands business opportunities.

NEBC also brings together diverse parties and fosters complex, multi-discipline conversations that address emerging industry issues. In an era of blurred boundaries and the need for cross-sector solutions, NEBC members provide the answers.
