IEEM - the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management - has announced that it is on track to gain the royal seal of approval. The Institute has applied for Royal Charter status which would improve its professional standing, and add weight to the credentials of its members.

The Privy Council has informed IEEM that the initial stage of the process has been completed, and the Institute's application has received Her Majesty the Queen's approval.
