IEMA Standards Ltd provides comprehensive, accredited environmental consultancy and ISO 14001 certification services — helping Nigerian organizations, industries, and investors achieve environmental compliance, manage ecological risks, and meet the standards of domestic regulators and international sustainability frameworks.
Nigeria's regulatory environment for environmental management is rapidly evolving. The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), state-level environmental protection agencies, and the Federal Ministry of Environment are strengthening enforcement of environmental impact assessments, pollution control, waste management, and sustainability reporting obligations. At the same time, international investors, development finance institutions, and global supply chains are demanding credible evidence of environmental risk management aligned with ISO standards and OECD guidelines.
As an EGAC-accredited certification body and experienced environmental consultancy, IEMA Standards Ltd is uniquely positioned to support Nigerian organizations — from extractive industries and manufacturing to real estate, energy, agriculture, and financial services — in achieving full environmental compliance, ISO 14001 certification, and internationally credible sustainability performance.
IEMA Standards Ltd is an EGAC-accredited Certification Body for ISO 14001:2015 — the world's leading Environmental Management System (EMS) standard. Certification by IEMA demonstrates that your organization has implemented a systematic, internationally recognised approach to managing its environmental impacts, legal obligations, and sustainability performance.
Scoping, baseline studies, impact prediction, mitigation planning, and EIA report preparation for projects requiring FMEnv or state agency approval — aligned with NESREA guidelines and the EIA Act (Cap E12 LFN 2004).
Ambient air quality assessment, effluent and wastewater monitoring, noise measurement, and soil contamination analysis — benchmarked against NESREA national environmental standards and WHO/EU reference thresholds.
Independent environmental compliance audits against applicable Nigerian environmental laws, NESREA regulations, and state agency requirements — including regulatory gap analyses and remediation action plans.
Hazardous and non-hazardous waste management planning, contaminated land assessment, site remediation design, and waste minimisation strategies — aligned with NESREA waste regulations and Basel Convention obligations.

Request a consultationWe are highly appreciating the great job you have done for our company to issue our ISO 9001 certification; it was very efficient experience for us Very impressed with Racheal and Adeolu ( both auditors), we absolutely got first class professional service from you guys @IEMA, a breath of fresh air working with a company that wants to offer quality service from start to finish.
Our experience of working with IEMA has been fantastic and their certification process was really superb. In my career spanning over 20 years and in 11 countries across the world, I have worked with 7 various consulting companies and certification bodies but my best experience was with IEMA because of their skill of converting complicating ISO requirements into easy to implement modules that were absolutely easy to understand for my entire team
